This is another of those six sentence challenges. The prompt word for this week is trunk.
- She died in February.
- Sometime later, we opened her steamer trunk.
- We found silk flowers, her favorite scent, her ruffled organdy dresses, a dental mold, and a detective’s license.
- Mom said she fell in love with a dentist who disappeared one day.
- She got her detective’s training and set out to find him—she did.
- He was married.
Great minds. Love that trunk.
Do you have a trunk? I don’t have one, but I have so many containers that contain “stuff,” I wonder if I shouldn’t have a clear out in case I suddenly croak.
Ayiiee!*
*compliment complete with cringe at the last line**
** which is, of course, a further compliment on creating a Six engaging enough to elicit that response.
Thanks. I’d like to make it into a short story or a novella.
Love it. It makes me wonder if this is one of those stories you can’t make up. And if you did make it up— cool.
Mostly true. I had this maiden aunt who never hardly ever left the farm during my lifetime.
OOOPs. This makes me feel something evil this way came.. Very nice six!
Oh, men can be such scoundrels! Great Six.
Most of us don’t go looking for them. Story mostly true and I gotta give my aunt credit for not being a shrinking violet.
Oh, no! Not quite the ending I was expecting.
Unrequited love is sad but good for her for getting to the bottom of the mystery.
Engaging Six.
Oh what a great read!
