a 100 word flash fiction.
Grandpa's secret
by judester
Tom sat by the window of Grandpa's treehouse, hidden by the leafy branches.
His family mingled with the mourners below as they shuffled around slowly, paying their final respects. Sad laughter and murmured memories drifted up to where he sat.
Grandpa had always told Tommy of his treasure trove, but never revealed his hiding place.
Now, Grandpa was gone forever. His treasures remained a secret.
Tommy leaned his head against the rough wall, sighed at his dilemma.
A faint click startled him as the panel softly popped open.
There lay Grandpa's life memories.
His legacy. In silver, gold and sepia.
