OK. Stop me when you've had enough. I took this one and ran with it. Dug up some emotions along the way.

I hope you enjoy.

It was a cold, rainy Saturday morning when I heard. I slept late and finally got up around ten. I started breakfast and went downstairs for my paper.

When I came back up the apartment was warm and had a friendly smell of sausage and biscuits cooking.

While I waited for breakfast to finish, I opened the paper and began my usual scan as the biscuits finished cooking.

My basketball teams lost. The economy sucked. Politicians were lying. Just another day until I hit the obituary page.

Grief and memories swirled as I tried to wrap my head around a world with out Cheryl.

I remembered the girl who loved ice cream and red dresses. I remembered the girl who loved to fish.

I remembered my old friend who was just so cool that nothing else mattered. No pressure, no demands.

Something precious was lost. Something that had been gone for a long time but death had finally slammed the door on.

I burned my biscuits that morning.

James nice use of the prompt. I have to admit your economy of words here really makes you slow down and absorb what you came up with.

Valerie Woodward

Dark story Dolores. Poor Valerie, felt sorry that she seemed to die alone. Not a nice ending for anyone's life.
