Just Breathe by Y. M. Roger 100 Word Story writing prompt entry |
It's been years since I was alone in the morning - think I was still working full time. This morning, it’s just me and the cats. My husband’s at work, and my son is at school. I didn’t drink my coffee with breakfast earlier so I’d have it for this moment. Stepping toward the door, I glance at the clock; there should still be time. Yep, the morning light is barely peeking over the hill out front. I can just make out a couple of squirrels and, perhaps, a chipmunk busy on the big rock about halfway up the slope. My phone’s inside – only need the birds and frogs singing their own special melodies for this. Placing my coffee on the porch table, I sit in my rocking chair. I close my eyes. I feel the sun’s warmth creep across my face from the hilltop. And. Just. Breathe.
