FLASH FRIDAY CHALLENGE: 100 WORDS

“Gloves – Check.”
“Scarf – Check.”
“Hat – Check.”
“What’s missing?” Glenn asks, peering over the coffee table.
The room was a sea of matchbox cars and Legos. “A Carrot!” he remembers.
He races into the kitchen. “Hey, Kenny, wanna build a snowman?”
Kenny watches from his wheelchair in discontent.
“C’mon. It’ll be fun,” Glenn persists.
He kneels down and buttons Kenny’s coat for him and wheels him outside.
Kenny hesitates. But once the first snowflake hits his warm face, a smile cracks. He hasn’t done that in weeks. Not since the accident.
And in that moment, he was his old self.
Such a sweet story!

Lovely. A nice idea to use the snow as a restoring effect on him.

Nothing is better at reminding us who we are as jumping (or wheeling) back into things that are familiar… and fun.
