100 Short Stories! Blogging for Accord Hospice--DAY 93

Thanks all, for your continued support of this little blog. You've been more than generous, both in giving and in your kind words of encouragement. Both are very much appreciated, believe me. I feel Accord Hospice is a great cause to support--it may be a half a world away from me, in a place I shall never see, but the heart and the spirit that goes into this place--well, even tho' I've never seen it, I can feel it, just by reading the webpage. I've been around hospitals, and dialysis centres, and the like--enough to know compassionate care when I "see" it.

Accord Hospice's website is at:

DAY 93

STORY 93

Love in Miniature

Lady Torrington sighed and looked out the window at the rain. She so missed her late husband, Sir Edward, that she’d had a miniature of him made up by the toymaker in the village. Now she was meticulously painting the figure to resemble Sir Edward’s wardrobe. Suddenly, she heard his voice.

Looking down, her Ladyship noticed that the figure had come to life! “Hullo, dear.” It said, “I’m back. Sorry you’ve missed me.” Her Ladyship didn’t faint, but wept for joy, calling her sisters into the conservatory, to view the miracle…but when they’d arrived, he’d turned into a toy again.
