It’s time again, for Kat Myrman’s wonderful challenge, to write a story, inspired by her picture prompt, in 280 characters or fewer.
Here is this week’s prompt and my contribution.
Check out all the fabulously creative entries here and, if you’ve never had a go, why not try a story of your own? You may surprise yourself!

The Wall of Love
I was worried when the old fella next door didn’t show. We normally chatted every day.
His wife suffered with crippling arthritis for many years and rarely ventured out.
They said she’d been dead for weeks. He lay down beside her under their special wall. A testament to their love.

Aw, that’s a sweet one. Something’s wrong here it’s too sweet for you, so I’m sure I must be missing something but I’m too tired to work out what! 😴

Very sweet. I hope he wasn’t lying down next to his dead wife for too long, though.
