FF: Of Endings

Hello! Hope you are having a lovely weekend. I believe it’s unexpectedly hot these days at several places. In Delhi, though it’s not raining as much but pretty overcast and terribly humid. But i guess that’s to be expected for the next two months or so. Sigh.

Moving on, it’s time for Rochelle’s Friday Fictioneers – a story in 100 words or less based on a photo prompt kindly provided this week by J Hardy Carroll. If you wish to join the challenge or read the other stories inspired by this prompt, click here. Off we go!

Of Endings

Words 100

After the cremation, the men returned home. The son, with his head shorn wore white unstitched garments. Several rituals still remained. A stream of visitors dropped in to pay their respects.

β€œI suppose your mother will shift to Delhi now?” A family friend asked.

β€œWe don’t know yet. She is quite independent and attached to this house.”

β€œBut surely she cannot stay alone?”

The son shrugged. β€œI don’t know. There hasn’t been a chance to discuss any of the practicalities.”

β€œYes of course. Of course. But, in case you, decide to sell this house, I would like to purchase it.”

Thank you for visiting, have a great week ahead.

For those who are reading Some Sugar & Spice, the next chapter is up.
