I didn't see the ashes coming. Lovely. Nothing wrong with writing both a 50-word and 100-word version and seeing which one you like best. :-)

Thanks for visiting and leaving a Comment, Tara!

I wonder if the character, Steve, might have a longer story in his mind? Time will tell.

(Nice to meet you over at Justin’s fire.)

I can imagine 50 words might feel a little cramped for a man carrying his father’s ashes! Maybe even 100. 😳:-)

What a creative idea - ashes in an abalone shell. Sort of sailing off into the sunset in a little boat. Very Viking-esque. See you again over at Justin's house...

Beautiful, Jenise. Love it! Thank you for sharing! I’m still tweaking my story, too. This one is proving to be tricky.

You'll do a great job, Justin.

It's currently 8:17 am, and I can't wait until 12 noon my time, when I'll post my link and story to "Along the Hudson".

Me too. You are giving us such fun, Justin. I imagine it is taking up way more of your time than you anticipated, replying to all the comments. Yikes! This could get huge!!
