The following is a Five Sentence Fiction I wrote back in November 2013
for Veterans Day in response to the prompt of “LETTERS” given to followers of a
now defunct website “Five Sentence Fiction”
SADNESS IS CONTAGIOUS
LEslie sat in the den of her home crying.
The tears which came flowing over her cheeks
weren’t ones of sadness, they were ones of the bittersweet remembrances
she got as she read the LETTERS which her then future husband had sent her
during his first assignment in the Middle East.
TEresa, Leslie’s daughter, sat by her mother’s side
trying to console her, but to no avail.
Reluctantly Teresa started to read the LETTERS
herself to see the reason for her mother’s dismay.
Sadness became infectious because these LETTERS
allowed her to get to know the father she never knew, as she fell victim to the
words in the LETTERS as well.
Your comments
would be appreciated.
The above Flash Fiction is one of the 100 Flash Fictions contained in

Very well done.
