Hello! Welcome to another edition of Rochelle’s Friday Fictioneers a story in 100 words inspired by the photo provided this week by Ted Strutz. Click here to read the other stories inspired by the photo.

Autumn Years
Words 100
All those road trips, the singing, the food and best of all, the laughter. Where had it all gone?
Even the leaves had fallen and life looked bleak and barren. Nothing to do but wait for death. Wasnβt it?
Perhaps for you, a branch swayed in the breeze, I am waiting for spring. What has gone will come back. There will be new leaves, sprouts, flowers, fragrance, birds and bees…
But what about me, the old abandoned car wailed.
Well for starters, you can stop crying. And wait for spring too. You can offer solace and be home to many.

Thank you for reading. Have a great week. And if you have time (and the inclination) why don’t you drop in here for the now completed short story:- Some Sugar & Spice. Or if you prefer poems, have a peek here
This too will pass

There can always be something to be optimistic about. And the car’s tires and plastic will still be there when the earth has forgotten everything else about humans.
