Last time I saw Gloria Metcalf she was standing by the trees looking at the gravestone of her child.
I had a premonition something was going to happen but dismissed it.
Gloria disappeared moments later and I couldn't see any trace of her which I thought strange, normally I would see the back of her as she slowly walked down the path towards the gate.
So you can imagine the shock when I heard the evening news that day and realised that at the time I saw her, she had already been dead for about six hours. Suicide.
I decided against telling Bob as he was the least open minded man I'd ever known. I would tell my sister tomorrow even though I was desperate to tell her now, but she was doing something important and needed to concentrate.
Just before bed, I looked into the bathroom mirror and thought I saw Gloria just for a second. She looked so happy.
I felt a shiver go through me then I felt at peace.
She must have seen her child again.
Six minute story is brilliant as a daily mental excercise to write on a variety of topics. It involves a lot of trial and error before I finish in the given time.
I am often surprised which of my stories receive the most views, often those I planned to delete.
