FF: Over in a Flash
Words 100
“Granny please tell me that story again.”
“That day,” Granny began, “we were all so excited to be meeting up at our beach house. It was a clear day, blue skies with wispy clouds, an inky blue…”
“Who all were coming?”
“Everyone! Your Aunt from India, Uncle from Canada, their children…”
“Why were they coming?”
“There were several reasons. It was my 75th and your 10th birthday, your parents anniversary. Your Uncle’s promotion, your Aunt wanted to introduce her fiancé. Oh, that was such a joyous time with so many things to celebrate!”
“Why did they drop those bombs Granny?”

Thanks Dale. Actually I conceived the story as the child and the granny dying in the blast while losing touch with the rest of the family.
