A Lifetime
Submitted to the "Micro Fiction Magic" Challenge
"Time sure does fly by!" my grandmother said. "Soon you'll be as old as me!" She smiled, as I looked down at an old photo of myself at age 6, holding a bat playing tee-ball.
Turn the page. It's my 16 birthday party- go-karting!
Turn another; a wild college party.
My wedding day; a perfect day.
My son's graduation.... my grand-babies... The cabin.
I am now 100. Life's vividness faded; its breaths slow and long. Visions and dreams of what's next fill me. Will my last thought be of them... or a memory? I feel my grandmother with me.
Goodbye.

A Dart at Dusk
Seconds ago, the sullen sun set on the two of us… my exuberant furry companion and me. A fresh breeze embraces us, delivering welcome relief from the day’s oppressive heat. His typical stumbling and staggering along — apace with a sloth — has turned into trip-trapping, high-stepping, almost skipping along.
