Here is this week’s prompt! Everything you need is right here: a snowy path, lovely trees, two carefree children walking together, nothing at all sinister or odd about this at all, right? Right. Well, then! That’s that!
Probably.
Your challenge this week is to find a story here and share it with us! Remember, you get only 100 words, which you can leave in the comments here or at your own web site with a link back to us, please! We’re pretty sure this innocent scene will prompt nothing but idyllic tales of love and peace, but…well, y’all do love to surprise us!

Thank you for the prompt! Enjoyed writing this one.
My ankle was injured, maybe a sprain, and it hurt to walk. But what choice did I have? After hitting that deer, our Camry was totaled, and we needed help. I felt better when Mom put her arm around me.
“Only a little further, kiddo,” she said.
Finally, around the bend, a miracle — a gas station, a police car. As the policewoman examined my swollen ankle, I looked around for Mom but couldn’t find her. Like she had vanished.
Then a crackle on the police radio. “One adult female dead behind the wheel of a Camry, one mile south.”
