| Big Room, 1948, by Andrew Wyeth |
Life interrupted and time stood still as Evie stood listening to the loud ticking of the clock and waited to hear the last musical chime of the clock she loved and must leave behind. She stood looking, listening and filling her heart with memories from the past. Tears trickled down her face and dropped to the hardwood floor as the shadows slowly passed over what had once been her life. The room spoke without words of the emptiness in her heart that now matched the emptiness of the big room.

A nice mood piece, short but effective...

I like the room speaking of emptiness, just like in her heart ~
At least take the clock with you!!!! Sad! Great job, Sandra!
So many questions! How old is Evie?Why was she leaving? Where is she going now?
Wonderful!!!!
Wow! That was great. This is one reason I love blogs -- all that talent that we never would know about others, nor be able to express for ourselves, before blogging and digital cameras came along.
I like your take on this but I am glad for the party in mine! Thanks for visiting!
Very nicely done.
oh Sandra that was awesome...your words so fit the photo...you should be a writer...
I love the soft sadness of the empty heart you've created here, Sandra. Very poignant and beautiful. Thank you for sharing. I hope the hurricane misses you. Stay safe. =D
So very touching...
Beautiful.
Very moving words.
Bravo! Well done : )
Hey girl - that was pretty good - why did she have to move? I would love to know the rest. sandie
Wow...impressive! I want to hear the rest of the story! Hope and pray you are safe and stay that way!! :-)
Absolutely wonderful Sandra! Maybe there's a book in you yet!
Quite nice and very evocative, Sandra.
Oh...that is nice...well done. I think that is kind of difficult to me...I'll try, but I'll make no promises...
HUG YOU TIGHT

You have hidden talents as a writer. Hope you are getting rid of the dizzies.
What an intriguing snippet, it really makes me want to know the circumstances that brought Evie to this point in her life. Well done!
loved that the room spoke without words...x
This called to mind Emily in "Our Town."
I liked it.
