The Man with the Black Bow Tie

Submitted to Contest #221

Grandma was sixteen years old. Born in 1892, with curly dark hair and a welcoming smile, she would grow up to be a real beauty.

Tiny Bangle Where Are You?

Submitted to Contest #124

"It's gone!" I shouted. "It's gone.!" Probably not the best words to yell out in a bank, filled with patrons, on a Friday, just before closing. All eyes were upon my panicked looking face now. There was no time to worry about that. "Now that I have everyone's attention", I cowered, "Could everyone look down around their feet?" (Now I saw the panicked looks on their faces as though they thought my pet rat had escaped my grasp) "My large diamond in my wedding ring is missing!" I had their full attention now, but felt a bit guilty lying, or sho...
