I have decided to try something different in 2023 and spend Wednesdays inviting others to enjoy a Writing Prompt either based on a photo or a word (or even something crazy, like the name of a recipe. Who knows what my mind will come up with?)
For this week’s Writing Prompt, please write a 35 word story based on this photo.

Here is my story:
IT WAITS
Abandoned, but certainly not forgotten. The gift was anything but. The painted porcelain face and the humble clothes mask something sinister underneath.
Something which clings to the heartbeat of whoever possesses it.
Now, it waits.

It was at that moment the Robitussin kicked in for Dave and he existed in two realities.
In one, he was a middle aged man in bed with the flu.
In the other, he wasn’t.

The old chair had rocked three generations. It had lived through rainstorms and droughts. Now it was relegated to being a catch-all for unwanted things. But it remembered the good old days when it was loved.
