What a Spread!!
Fiction
The random word is Elaborate.
“Wow, another day to have fun!” She smiled!
Rain or sunshine, she always woke up with this feeling of fleeting time, and an urgency to hold happiness!
And gratitude!
She felt it in her bones; it wouldn’t last forever.
“One morning, I won’t wake up!!”
On a restricted diet of bland soups at the nursing home, she wasn’t allowed sweets anymore!
Though, who can restrict one’s imagination!!
Mother’s Day, when she woke up, there were flowers on her table, not only tea and toast but such an elaborate spread of breakfast goodies, all her favourites!
A feast for the eyes!
This drabble is in response to Nancy Oglesby’s daily random word. Elaborate. Here is a link to her post.
