When I chose the word wrapped for
In Other Words the week before Christmas
I imagined Christmas stories and happy thoughts.
When I sat down to write a story this is what came to my mind.
I don’t know where it came from or why.
But it did and here it is.
I had a lovely Christmas but it’s over folks.
What are you doing? he asked.
Just wrapping up your stuff for you, she answered.
Why, am I going somewhere?
Yes, you are and I don’t care where.
You don’t believe the redhead is just a friend, huh?


Normally, teddy will be on top of your luggage wherever you will go. Merry Christmas to you and the fur babies.
Hope your Christmas was merry, Pilgrim. Happy New Year!
Yikes. She’s done isn’t she. Yes she is. Very well said.
Have a fabulous day. ♥
Yep, she done did it!
Neat, and delivered with a frilly bow. 🙂
Sometimes frilly bows dress up not so welcome surprise packages.
Oh, my! An unfortunate situation, indeed.
Yes, unfortunate but I don’t doubt she will have a happy life without him.
Wow. That certainly wrapped things up. I have seen that very scenario, though thankfully, from a little distance. Sometimes, these stories just insist on being told. You did well with it. HUGS!
Thanks, Annie. I think it is a story of acceptance and courage. Too many are afraid to confront and do what needs to be done.
You are so very right about that. Good story, too.
