Charli’s prompt this week:
December 13, 2018, prompt: In 99 words (no more, no less) write a story about Cora Kingston. You can answer any of the questions history obscures or completely make up a Cora Kingston story. Go where the prompt (and the name) leads you.
Cora’s Love
Cora wept as she carefully reread the card in one of her hands.
Tears blurred her vision but the words were etched on her eyeballs.
“You are cordially invited to the union John Yendow and Cora Kingston…”
The proofs of their wedding invitations had arrived earlier that week,
but so caught up was she in her grief, she hadn’t looked at the mail.
Instead of stepping into the church as a blushing bride-to-be,
she had entered it to bid farewell to her one true love.
In the other had she held today’s order of service.
“In loving memory of…”
But I Smile Anyway...

A sad story Ritu. Once there was so much hope and now all that is left is grief and a whole bunch of invitations that will never be sent. That pulls at the heartstrings. I can’t help myself – you need to add an n in had second last line. Great writing. It elicited an emotive response from me on reading it.
