Darn Memories!




"Thank heavens it broke!" Jules said with relief as she raised her hands in jubilation. 

She was quick to call for help to clean up the mess. 

As the helper was collecting the pieces that got scattered around the room; Jules watched with a keen eye. 

Her fragile grey neurons of 80 years old were quick to make synapses as that cup's history took her to her home surrounded with laughter, and then to an old age home all alone. 

Memories were threatening to overwhelm her, but she would be seen fighting them with an expletive now and then. 


 In 99 words (no more, no less) write a story about shards. You can write about the pieces, the item they once were, or who picks them up and why. Go where the prompt leads. Join in the fun at CarrotRanch
