At the asylum

in #microfiction5 years ago (edited)

Ernest was waiting for his friends really excited because it had been a long time since anyone visited him, suddenly he decided to buy a new pair of tennis for this occasion.

In the way of the shoe store he found a signboard in a garage that said "fishing equipment for sale", so he called the manager, to his surprise she was a friend from his childhood, they talked many hours until he decided to return to the asylum because it was getting late.

When he arrived at the nursing home, the nurse told him that his friends had been waiting for him, but that they had to leave; he became very sad but was comforted by remembering his old girl friend.

The next morning, on the local newscast, they announced that a group of elderly people who had gone into the woods had died, he started crying, he thought that, if he had gone, maybe he would also be dead.

A week later, the old man went to sleep very early, because he felt really tired, during the morning it was very cold, it was when he felt a warm hand caressing his forehead, it was the old girl friend he had found the other day, in the room were also his friends, he was very happy to see them all gathered.

The next morning the nurse found the cold body of the old man, who had died during the early morning, on his face he had a big smile.
