She Wept

The Rogue Speaks:

The end arrived. No sigh of relief, no peace was felt. Tika took his hand, and wondered just why this had to be. She wept.


Miss Smarty-Pants Jenny tossed us a curve ball with her Saturday Centus. Only 25 words to work with??? Take THAT, Miss Smarty-Pants!!!

Judie, This piece is visceral and visual and flowing. It touched my heart in that place where loss lives. Wonderful.

Namaste..........cj

PS - I should have thanked you long ago for posting a link to Addie's page. She's not writing much right now - summer job and all that. She has some things in the works, hopes to have them ready soon. Again, thanks.

Some endings are like that - without closure that allows us to move on.

Great response with our limited word count!

There isn't always relief in the end, not for the living that is.

Yes, it's sad to lose someone we love, and that the longer we live, losing someone is inevitable. It's also amazing how we can describe the pain of that loss in so few words when, they have meant so much to us.
You have a lovely blog.
Thank you for visiting and commenting on mine.

Isn't is amazing what you can do with 25 words. Your Centus packed a punch!

Olive Tree said...

Don't you just love that prompt? I think the limit of 25 words added to the drama. Your centus is deep. I like it.

Tgoette said...

What a sad and tender moment you captured, and so beautifully and powerfully written. Really well done, Judie!

Rek Sesh said...

There is a story in there, waiting to be told...wonderful and touching take. :)

Great centus Judie! Were you thinking of Gone With The Wind here? It would fit well.
Thanks for visiting mine; you are First Commenter.

Did you quote Scarlett here??? I'll just have to go to "scene selection" and to the last scene and see what really happened.
I did not actually have time to look at the film. I started to, but soon realised that it was not suitable for children. (Elisabet can at time act like Scarlett O'Hara! I don't want to encourage her.)
My very best,
Anna

THE SNEE said...

Jenny said...

Judie.

Amazing, amazing lady!
