At the time it seemed a good idea, but how it played out nearly cost Charlie his life. He had the big ranch, but his wife had died and all the kids didn't want anything to do with ranching. So he decided to sell and move into the city. Everything was good great until he decided to take that walk in the park.

This is a wonderful piece of writing from Carl.

We follow the story of Charlie as he gets old.

I can't say anything more, without giving anything away.

But do read this.

A powerful short on growing old, leaving one thinking of ‘what might happen’…

This story was highlighted in a recent post, so I decided to give it a read.  I’m glad it was mentioned, as I would likely never have stumbled upon it otherwise.  

This one makes you think and feel.  I know it will stick with me in a way most stories don’t. 

It isn’t a lighthearted read, but it is definitely worth your time!

Well written @CarlHoliday!

Thank you for sharing it @Cia!

Carl does an excellent job of writing Charlie's story. I don't want to say too much about this wonderful short piece so as not to give it away, but do read it.

A well written and touching tale of an octogenarian who'd moved to new home, and then while out for a walk suddenly realized that he  couldn't remember anything about his life.  Of course, there are extenuating factors involved, but I won't tell you what they are because I don't want to ruin the story for you.  However, it made it even more difficult for him, so what will happen now that he's lost in a big city?
