Change - 50 word short story
These hands once were delicate and soft. They gave signs of youth and innocents. I can hear them whisper, "hold me gently, but hold me tight", as Time takes over they change. They are now dramatic and dry. Now wrinkled and sore, they hold new life, new hands, delicate, soft.
This is my entry for the 50 word short story. Find the information here
Hands are a such a beautiful sign of age. Young hands are smooth and soft, but old hands have lovely character, earned from all the years of dishes, or gardening, or whatever work may have occupied them over the years. Thank you for sharing your story!
Hands hold their own story while they hold the beginnings of new stories. Thank you for commenting and seeing the spirit they hold :)
Wow, so much power packed into 50 words. I was moved by the circle of life imagery conveyed so expertly. Great story!
Thanks @papacrusher! That means a lot coming from you. You have showed me how great of a writer you are with the zombie story, so for you to say that is huge!
That is so beautiful and true. Very powerful 50 words.
Great line and I like the juxtaposition of old and young you went with here @foxyspirit
Thank you @cizzo. I appreciate you pointing that out :)
Word. You write well ✎ :)
It also says here that you're a baker! That's what I do for New Zealand Dollars. What kind of bread do you make?
Thank you for the compliment :)
I have just found out that baker here does not have the same meaning as the bakers overseas. Here a baker is more like pastries. Cakes, cupcakes, pies, candies and the works. A pastry chef, although I cannot claim the title of a chef, so I kept it as baker.
Awesome, yeah we would call that pastry chef. I work alongside some when I make the bread. Unfortunately I can't eat the majority of what they make, because I choose not to eat butter and eggs! There are some talented 'bakers' making pastries and things with no animal products though, it's becoming increasingly easy to get a hold of.
I hope that one day it will be easier to come by those products over here as I would like to be able to serve everyone's needs. But that would also make the prices change some because the healthier ingredients are most expensive.
