Sunshine

Oct 30th, 2025 by thegooddoctor in 100 Words

I sat parked with the seat back and the radio playing classical music. The weather forecast called for sunshine, but it began to drizzle. I decided to wait and hoped the rain would pass. I had nowhere else to go, so sticking it out was the logical choice. As the rain subsided, I shut the radio, raised the seat and turned the car off.

I walked to the grave site of my wife and placed a bouquet of daisies on the stone.

ā€œI’m here as promised.ā€

I knelt and said a silent prayer.

The sky clouded and then it poured.
