It Is Snowing
“It is snowing,” she said.
No reply.
“Seems, it has been snowing all night.” She paused.
Silence.
“Remember, when we met, it was snowing, too. Wind. Frost. You. Looking at me.”
“Mom”, silence was interrupted. “Talking to dad again? He is fine. He is with angels now.”
Crying, she hugged her son.
It was snowing.
And it was another 55FictionSaturdays

A love gone,
Is not a love lost.

glad you liked the story! :)
my god its sooo beautiful :)...
urs..hemu..
With a 125 entries in the "Ascension" Short Story Contest, it's understandable that we made different picks. I'll probably be at work when Jason announces the winners. Good Luck!
lovely story... i lost a very close family member recently and sometimes i talk to her... we all do. life is like that sometimes.
@ Hemanth:
glad you liked it :)
@ JR:
yup, no wonder, one could have lots of choices, tough to pick 5 only.
Thanks! Good luck to you too :)
@ lala:
agreed.. we all do.. thats the way to deal wuth the pain of their absense.
what a touching story, especially for 55 words, I like this format, I might even try it sometimes
and thanks for your encouraging comment, I still need to learn and it's nice to know someone reads my work, so thank you!
Hey Lena,
55 words is a cool idea. And going by the 250 word contest, we had, this must be even tougher. But you're very good in this too :).
@ lissa:
you should try this sometimes, it is not as tough as it seems :)
and come on, we all need to learn a lot :)
@ Prashant:
thanks a lot :)
but am not as good as I want to be, a lot needs to be improved still :)
My heart is in my throat as I read this. Well-done.
@ Gel:
thank you :)
Well done lena
I am maighty impressed... really touching
Each one more touching than the other! great read!
Good one, Lena :)
wishes,
devika
@ Divkiran:
thanks, girl. Great to hear that you liked it :)
@ dewdrop:
if i could make them even more touching i sure would :D
Thanks!
@ devika:
thank you :)
Very romantic however I am weak at interpreting these things so probably I appreciate it less than the work deserves. Sorry.
Beautiful..Emotional..Touching...
How so few words can say so much....
@ Ropi:
dont worry, a simple read and saying if you like it or not, is enough :)
We all are different after all.
@ Margaret:
thank you :)
Even I wonder how just few words can tell a story :)
Hey where have you been!!!
You missed a TLR!! :x Me mad!! :P
Hopefully you'd write FFF tomorrow!!
All's fine???
Very well said:)
@ Akshat:
you are one of few people who noticed TLR were not there :D
Anyways, will try with 55FS today :)
I am fine, thanks, just really busy
@ Priya:
