Baby Picture
She found an envelope partially buried under a patch of snow. Sender and receiver’s information were unreadable.
Inside, there was a baby picture with words “Your eyes, mouth, nose… you want to walk away from her?” written on it.
Rushing back to the house, she carefully studied her husband’s eyes, mouth, nose…
Now I’m curious, looks like him?

Hello… One reason I like fiction: there are so many possibilities ;-). She may think the baby look like him, but it’s not his baby, or she doesn’t think the baby look like him and it turns out it is… For this story, the reader has to decide 😉
I found it’s very difficult to tell a story in 50 words, don’t you? I kept deleting words. But it is fun exercise. Take care.
