THREE LITTLE
INDIANS
We didn’t have Facebook when we were young, we wrote
letters, and we arranged our annual reunion by telephone. Gradually our numbers
dwindled until there were only three of us – me, Jan and Betsy.
This year I arrived first and ordered our champagne, but
when Jan arrived she was alone.
“Lunch for two,” she told the waiter, “But you can pour champagne
for three.”
It was obvious he thought we were just two crazy old women
as we toasted the empty chair, and then we proved him right by flinging Betsy’s
glass at the wall.
Thanks again to Rochelle for the photo prompt which sends about a hundred writers across the world into a Flash Fiction Frenzy.
