Exceptional Loss and loneliness, during war. Lost and Found! by lauralumummu 100 Word Flash Fiction contest entry

Standing here, I feel dizzy as the crowd is swirling around me. Shivering from the cold, aware of many voices and children crying, someone hands me a coffee. I sip it gratefully.   I close my eyes and picture my apartment with tears streaming down my face. Having little money, no friends, or family--  At 75 years old – my home is gone! I have walked for days. Crying out in my heart, I say, “Dear God what should I do?”   “ Sonia!” A neighbor that I hardly know, shouts. “Come with us my sister has room for you too!” Gratitude overwhelms me! Recognized Author Notes I can only imagine what it is like to be a refugee displaced by war. Praying for Ukraine!
