Flash Fiction Friday and we have a beautiful photograph as our subject photo. You know one photo for all the participating writers and a 100 word limit. It is not easy, trust me. I have gone a little off the beaten path, at least for me.
Hope you enjoy my piece. Have a quick entertaining read and then sashay over to my friends and see what they have written for you. They are listed in the link below or one-by-beautiful one, like tears of sorrow.
Enjoy ~ ☼ღஜ ﾚo√乇 ¸.☆¨¯`*.✿.*˜"*°

| A Beautiful Gift |
“Where?”
“Under the south pillars of the Calahootchie Bridge in
the swampy marsh and fetid water. She’d been ravaged, first by her assailant
then by nature.”
“I don’t want her mother to see her like this. The
torture of losing her daughter is one thing to live with, but this? This is cruel.
I’m afraid we’ll need dental records to ID her.”
“You’re right. She should imagine returning her daughter
to God they way He sent her to live with her Mother.”
“I want her Mother to remember her as she was in life—joyful,
sweet, pure—a beautiful gift.”
“Hmmmmm……….maybe someday.”
