Special thanks to Rochelle for the lovely prompt. I’ve never done this before, so be gentle. By the way, I love the fact that Rochelle loves purple. Purple is my favorite. 100 words exactly. Woohoo!!!
They were perfect in the glimmer of the summer sun. It changed when the leaves began to fall. He left her here. Alone. She wonders whatever possessed her to move here. To give up her other life. For him. In this lake house his presence is everywhere, though he is nowhere to be seen. Only his ghost lingers. His words, lies, and empty promises. In the cobwebs and dust that she feels no desire to remove. In empty corridors, she can hear the echo of his voice. In an empty bed they used to share, she clings to his pillow.
Stunning!
Thank you! From the bottom of my heart. Thank you!
Welcome to the gang Renee…this is amazing. Well done
To hear that from you warms my heart. Thank you so much.
This is a haunting, poignant piece. Really good job. hope you will be doing more frific
I will be sure to do so. I loved it. It was kind of nerve wracking. What I liked about it was getting rid of the fluff and getting to the grit of the story. Thank you for sparking my fire.
I know what you mean, such a short format makes you really think hard about the words you use.
And you are so welcome 🙂
Hugs, kisses, and I’m slipping you the tongue.
Oooooooh that’s lovely 🙂
Ain’t it though? Giggle.
It is 🙂 careful though if we go much further you could end up in one of my romantic interlude posts!
Oooohhhh really? I would LOVE that. If we go much further, we need to make this private.Wink, wink.
Yep we dont want everyone watching while i do *this* 🙂
Hmmmm what would *this* be? 😉
Im too much of a gentleman to spell it out in public…
Oh love, you make me blush.
You packed a punch in just 100 words – brilliant!
Thank my dear. I think it’s good when it makes you cry after you write it…..
Fine writing, Renee, I enjoyed your story. See you next week.

Hi Ted. Thanks for the kind compliment. I’m no longer a FriFic virgin. I think I did pretty well for my first time. I’ll be glad to read yours. Thanks for the follow too. If you don’t mind the F word, you won’t mind reading me. Wink, wink.
Write it like it is, R…
Wink, wink.
A lot into a few words.
I do believe it says everything…. Thanks for the comment and the follow my sweet.
Welcome, Renee from one purple fan to another. A desolate, lonely piece. Well done.
Thank you so much for the compliment. The photo was quite an inspiration. Can’t wait to try this again next Friday.
great piece Renee, sad and full of emotion.
I’ll like this one a lot 🙂

Thank you so much Seadog. I was tickled that I used 100 words exactly on my first try at Friday Fictioneers.
