A torn Journey

Today marks twenty-two years since Grandpa William left us. He was a World War II veteran and did a lot for all of us. Mother never touched any of his belongings in the years he was gone. His room was left for two decades as if he were still living in it. Only dust and dead insects called the room home. It has been a week since my mother left us too.

Married to a Human

Weekly Contest #243

Damon and the kids sit in silence, looking at Crystal’s body. To me, she was just an employer, but to them, she was family. She was Damon’s wife and a mother to Kara and Steve.  With each tear down their face, I can tell how miserable and out of sorts they are. I don’t personally know what these words feel like, but I know how they look. I had seen this look on Damon and the kids' faces months ago when Crystal first broke the news that she had cancer. Steve and Kara could not control themselves and cried the entire time. I could see the...
