The following short story was submitted in the Creative Writing Class at Bartlett Senior Center, Bartlett, TN. The assignment was to use the random words below (or any form thereof) and write something interesting.
Senile ~ Impossible ~ Raindrops ~ Sunflowers ~ Luxury ~ Crystal
Mom’s senility had made it impossible to communicate with her anymore. She sat at the round wicker table on the porch, day after day, season after season. She gazed at the sunflowers blooming in summer and the raindrops falling in winter. It was a luxury to still have her with us.
I liked to pamper her whenever possible, so it was with great flair and flamboyance that I set a beautiful crystal goblet before her filled with iced tea. She smiled at me and raised it in a toast, then sipped it slowly. I hoped she would reminisce of the time she and dad sat on the porch toasting their last anniversary together—when the raindrops fell on their crystal goblets and they danced a waltz in the garden.
