The Icicles
Photo prompt-copyright- Janet Webb
It would be the third winter that he would be all alone in
this desolate place.
His son couldn't come even for mother’s funeral. He was too
busy climbing corporate ladder. He had later called assuring that he would be
with him on Christmas. Next year, he had said that he would surely try. This year
he had not even called and Christmas was just a few days away.
He looked through the window. Everything was frozen. Tiny icicles
hanging from frozen flowers attracted him.
“Did she like the icicles? No? Yes?”
It hurt him because he could not recall.
