Friday Fictioneers time folks! The time of the week when 100+ authors share 100- words with the world. We base our stories on a photo prompt given by our A number one hostess Rochelle. Check out all the stories by following the little blue frog at THIS SITE.
Here is the prompt and my story is below that.

Reflection
by JE Lillie
The sun is setting again. She is at the sink doing dishes. I am at the table in my usual spot drinking coffee after dinner.
We are stuck, she and I, in this maddening loop ever since the day I sent him away. We eat dinner in silence. She does the dishes. I drink my coffee. She looks out the window. I catch the longing in her eyes turned outward. Then I see her glaring back at me in the window’s reflection. It echoes my own thoughts, suggests what we both think. I should have gone.

Why is it that the heart always longs for what has already gone?
Intriguing – I want to know who that person who was sent was.
Oh now that is truly a tragic story. More heartbreaking than can be expressed in a hundred words for sure.
I’ve read so much into this I’ve created my own little novel!
Nicely written but the suspense is killing me, who was sent away?
It was a son.
I see that son being sent away. A Cain and Abel story maybe.
Perhaps more David and Absalom.
I felt like she was looking for her son. But I don’t quite get why the father would go instead.
A lovely puzzle to reflect upon. Well done.
