This week the prompt is "heart". I hope to be able to capture the essence of this simple but powerful word. I have included the link to this week's challenge in case you'd like to participate: It's the Best day of the week! It's ZapFic50Friday! Write me a story in precisely 50 words!.
Thank you and Freewriters Community for this writing exercise. As required in the rules. I have taken a screenshot of the word counter for this story.
I hope you like my story for this week's prompt:
Ellis was raised in the countryside with his sweet maternal grandmother.
They share a special bond.
Ellis didn't hesitate to volunteer when she needed home health care. Grandmother was extremely delighted.
Over the past 5 years, her health slowly declined.
Ellis is heartbroken as his grandmother smiles one last time.
See you next time.
