NURSE FIONA
Fiona settled at her desk to complete
a job application, and was dithering over the question, Why are you leaving
your present job? when she heard a faint sound from the corner bed.
She soothed the old woman’s restless
hands. ‘Are you in pain, Mabel?’
‘No, dear. Just sit with me. I see
it’s snowing – like when I met Arthur.’ She giggled girlishly. ‘I threw a
snowball to catch his attention.’ Suddenly her head lifted. ‘Arthur?”
Fiona caught the briefest glimpse of
an old man before Mabel’s hand relaxed in hers.
After completing the formalities she
tore her application into tiny pieces.

This week's lovely photo was taken by Sarah Potter and reproduced as a prompt on Rochelle's blog https://rochellewisoff.com/ . From there you can follow the Blue Frog trail to read other interpretations of the picture.
I would like to thank the 25 other writers who commented on my blog last week - the most I have ever had for one story - most of whom liked the photo of mine which Rochelle used.
If you like my writing, you can find another of my stories on this site http://visualverse.org/ which also uses a pictorial prompt,, but although the word limit is greater there is a time limit of an hour - one hour!
