"The tool shed": a Humpbuckle Tale

in Freewriterslast year

This fifty-word story (ZapFic50) was written using @mariannewest's Freewrite Writing Prompt

...

The key to my father's shed feels much smaller than I remember.

The lock - rust-red but well-oiled - clicks.

The door swings open.

Tools neatly ranged, boxes of nails and screws clearly labeled.

A note, scrawled in his familiar hand.

"All yours now, son. Please, don't make a mess."

Nice words again 😍

A shared dream of (some) fathers and sons. Beautifully done.

Thank you! :)

Is this story true? It's a great story either way.

I've been leaving notes in places for my children to find and read after I am gone.

Not true as far as I know! :) Thank you! Good idea! :)
