THINGS TO CONSIDER
**********
I love writing prompts with a list of unrelated words. It is a challenge and one I do everyday for one of my daily prompts. This was definitely challenging with 10 words. I came up with a piece of 193 words. It could use some more work, but it is doable as is.
The Concert
By Tessa Dean
Grandmother’s pallor was paler than normal. She appeared to be in misery, much to our consternation. Her cancer had been in remission, but it seemed to be returning with a vengeance.
She had sent her entry into a contest for a local orchestra ticket that she had wanted to attend for a long time but couldn’t afford the tickets. The paper in my hand pronounced her the winner and included two tickets.
She would never forgive me if I did anything to stop her from attending that show. She didn’t understand why we were trying to prevent her from attending due to a flare-up of her cancer. We felt she needed rest and that the excitement of the concert would be too much for her to conquer. She didn’t see it that way.
The tickets were for the day’s first show, a matinee. That would be an early show rather than a late one, and she would have to be escorted by one of us. None of us were interested in that particular orchestra, but we would have to choose one of us to attend with her. This meant a lot to her.
