Challenge
Write a story from the perspective of an old lady whose cat just died... but don't mention the cat.
I may have stolen this from a book...
You aren't allowed to mention the cat, or any thing/animal dying. A extra challenge is if someone reads it and has no idea about the challenge, it makes perfect sense.
The Clock Ticks
The clock ticks
Brought her comfort
As she dried her eyes.
She knew it was time to go
To the shops
And leave the silence of this room
With only
The clock ticks
To remind her
Of the passing
Of time
And love
Friendship and comfort.
With warmth abandoning her
Save now for the warmth of the fire.
She feared going out
With no special love
Now
To come home to.
But she has to eat
Though now she will buy for one.
And so
Edna
Aged 76
Leaves her room.
As she closes the door
In the silence
The clock ticks.
