50 Words: Fence
I drove through an old suburban neighborhood full of neglected homes surrounded by picket fences. The white paint had long since chipped away revealing a rough and splintering wood. Termites and rot plagued every board. White picket fences. They were our grandparents’ American dream, but their remains are our reality.

Entropy rules... sad to say.
Nicely done!
😄😇😄
Thank you
Remind me never to enter a competition you're competing in lol.
You are a good writer. :)
I appreciate the compliment a lot and I’m pretty sure the first part was meant as a joke, but just in case, if you like to write I can’t stress enough how fun these contests are to write for and I absolutely recommend you give them a try!
Nice! This story does a nice job of describing the decay of formerly well-kept homes, once their owners are no longer around to maintain them.
Thank you! Glad to see you were able to recover your account :D
To sum it up.. A nostalgic story ending in dashed dreams!?
I enjoyed this one, but it's a little sad upon reflection! Everything is temporary, even we are!
Yup, very true. And I'm glad you enjoyed it!
Love the imagery and message packed into this one @blueteddy
Thanks @cizzo :D
Deep and philosophical wordings. one could relate it to many things but in my opinion everything is temporary and one day it will be finished or taken away. This what you try to say.
Thank you for the compliment. And yes, that was definitely one of the things on my mind when I wrote this.
Pleasure :)
