“A little right, boy.”
“Yes, mam.”
“Wow! look at these streets. Look at the stones. Now tell me if you don’t see some art here.”
“Hmmm!…Yes, mam.”
“Now take me a little left, boy.”
She marveled at the beauty laid in each brick…block by block. There was no further ahead. They hit the end of the path.
“That’s it Mrs. Rodriguez.”
The old lady got up from the chair as her entire weight made her wrinkled hands tremble a little. With the crutches clasped, she moved out of the room.
“Next time… a virtual tour, to…Eiffel tower.”

Oh, it is Rochelle. She is after all old and alone. With the growing medical expenses she can’t afford to spend too much.
Thanks for your kind words Rochelle. 🙂

It’s good to see a humanizing take on technology every now and again, and you’ve done that so well here, Norma. I especially love: “The old lady got up from the chair as her entire weight made her wrinkled hands tremble a little.” It shows so much, without telling or bludgeoning the reader. Bravo, all 99 words of it!

I do hope the virtual tour of the Eiffel Tower doesn’t involve the boy carrying her up a flight of stairs. 🙂 Interesting story!
