An echo fills the otherwise empty house

Fresh paint where pencil once traced growth

The carpets whose stains told stories of life

Now ripped from the floor, into lengths with a knife.

Doors locked for the last time, goodbye feels pale

To take down the sign, which reads "for sale"




It's Zapfic Friday!

I've found this challenge interesting for a long time- it is surprisingly hard to write a coherent story in 50 words! This weekend, the prompt was "sale". If you'd like to enter, the contest is open until end of day Sunday! You can find all the info here!

This is my screen shot of the word counter I used, which I easily found on google :)

I used this site for the word counter.

Hope you enjoyed my brief, yet challenging post for today :)

Haha really liked this, nice one! I wouldn't have thought of doing these prompts in verse, but, to be honest it works so well!

This is so sad, it totally hit me in the feels Grindan.

Awe, yeah moving homes is bittersweet- I wonder what new stains and marks will be quickly made in the new home? There is always an upswing somewhere 🤗 !PIZZA for the feels my friend 😁
