Tuesday is also Matt the Book Blogger’s Flash Fiction Prompt day!
The prompt song is Christina Aguilera’s ‘Say Something’.
It’s funny, this song reminds me of my Lil Princess, as she always sings it, and I didn’t know what the song was… (Getting old, me!) Well, now I know!
Inspired entirely by the part in the video where the elderly man is with his sick wife… ( I had tears in my eyes watching that part of the video…
“Bet, say something. Bet? Lillibet? My sweet, I know you can hear me. Just give my hand a squeeze so I know you’re not annoyed with me. I’m sorry I didn’t get your favourite gingernuts. The doctor wasn’t sure you’d be up to eating them. But I did sneak in a Bakewell Slice. I know how much you love them.”
Frank looked at the sleeping figure, and his eyes welled up. His Bet was such a chatterbox, you couldn’t keep her quiet usually.
He felt a hand come to rest on his shoulder.
“Granddad, you need to say goodbye now.”
But I Smile Anyway...

Only just checked this out, not getting Matt’s usual roundup. So sad (your text I mean, not my lateness, though that’s sad too). Great flash fiction.

I totally understand that. It is what I might keep in mind too when hearing that song from now on.

I remember humming songs when I was a teenager not thinking about the meaning (most of all because it wasn’t my language anyway) and realizing it decades later!
