Accord Hospice 100 Story Challenge: Day 75

Once again, I'm pleased to have "Jack Frost" stand in as a guest writer, while I continue to recover from a bit of a bad turn. I will be back again on Friday sometime, with a brand new story, but in the meantime, I hope you will enjoy "Jack's" excellent entry for today, and again, I want to thank him from the bottom of my heart, for taking the time and effort to contribute to this fundraiser for Accord.

Accord Hospice, in Paisley, Scotland, offers free care and support to terminal cancer patients and their families, both in home and at Accord's facilities. This care is done by a very supportive staff of professionals and volunteers. To find out more, visit:

DAY 75

STORY #75, BY "JACK FROST"

Lost Youth

“Come on! Time to go!" Shouted Maureen. “Oh, do we have to go?" Whined Harry. "I still haven’t had a go on the slide, and you’ve barely pushed me on the roundabout! It’s not fair! I haven’t been in the park for ages.”

"Look," said Maureen, "it’s late, and you need to get up early to go to school. You’ll be in trouble if you’re late". "Oh, okay." whined Harry, as he shuffled his feet towards the gate. “Right! That’s it.” Thought Maureen, “This will be the last time I walk the headmaster home, stinking drunk, from the annual party.”
