The Quest


* This 100-word piece of fiction is written for the photo prompt at Friday Fictioneers.

Photo prompt @ Friday Fictioneers


The silence of the hall and the coldness of the wooden benches seemed to understand her and the only ones that didn’t seem to have an opinion. In its safe confines, she placed a piece of her. And left.
~~~

She scanned the sea of faces, frantically looking for those playful little brown eyes. Just like her Abby’s, she recollected.  Pain had slowly erased every memory of him and filled her with hopeless vacuum.  She didn’t even know what she was looking for, until, three days ago, a pair of eyes stirred up memories of her past.

    1. Not lost, but she had to leave a 'piece of her' behind, presumably her unwanted child. And Abby is the father who died under painful circumstances :)

      Okay, so I made it complicated ;)
