#100WCGU – Wk62 – Prompt: …it can’t be that time… – 105 words – “Tropical”

17 Oct

A warming breeze blew across the cresting waves. Sand caressed my feet. I strolled carefree along a tropical beach. Not a care in the world came to mind. I was at peace.

My world started shaking.

“It can’t be that time,” I thought.

I heard a sound, “Daddy, I’m hungry. Bubba needs a change.”

The tropical beach lost, I opened my eyes and was greeted by my five year old daughter’s face, “Morning, sweetheart.  Did you sleep well?”

She smiled, “I dreamt I was a princess.”

“Then daddy will get his princess her breakfast and change bubba.”

The tropical beach will be there next time.

Saturday Centus – Wk#129 – Prompt: “The leaves crunched under my boots until they didn’t.” – 109 words – “Difference”

17 Oct

Winter gave way to spring, spring to summer and summer to autumn. Each phase added its own page to my life’s story and my quest to make a difference in the lives of others.

I walked the path of life and felt the cool of winter, saw the spring’s colours and experienced the warmth of summer. I heard the sound of autumn leaves crunching under my boots.

My life’s autumn was a time of reflection. There were many memories I held close to my heart. They reminded me of the joys and tribulations.

The leaves crunched under my boots until they didn’t.

My epitaph read, “He made a difference.”
