TWENTY-FIVE YEARS - 100 word story


TWENTY-FIVE YEARS
Twenty-five years we’ve been married, all but a month, and I’m not sure I can face pretending we’re a loving couple at a big party.We met in that square ugly diner outside town – I served him coffee and doughnuts – and I was pregnant before I even knew his surname. So here we are, trapped by a mortgage and by three kids neither of us can bear to part with.
That was yesterday. Today he brought me flowers. And there’s a lovely dress in the boutique that might fit me. I suppose a silver wedding anniversary deserves some recognition..................................................................This week's photograph by Jean L Hays didn't inspire me to write anything cheerful, though I have done my best.
