The Favorite Photograph
Our only child passed away too soon.
Must find the photograph before we crack-up!
I see it clearly in the back of my mind’s eye.
He was on my Pop-pop’s tractor playing grown-up.

Most of my work tends to be on the sad or horror aspect. It is hard for me because it really depends on what mood I am in at time. I suffer from Bipolar Disorder and sometimes it really shows. Thank you for stopping by!

That’s a lot of heartbreak for 33 words.
Hope your character finds the picture…

Thank you! Though the story is fiction we had lost a picture of my grandmother and it was found in the drier with a load of clothes, undamaged. That is sort of what I based this on.

Nothing wrong with sad! You have evoked a strong emotional reaction already which is what good writing does when it connects. Very well done. Your opening line is a real grabber!

Thank you Janna! You are right they both seemed to demand sad responses.

I’m glad this was fiction, but I know the frantic search for something of sentimental importance.
Also, I write from that “other side” as well usually. I got a weirdo when the muses were handed out. 😉
