The phone rang.
“Hello,” she whispered softly.
“ Nereida, meet me at our usual spot on the beach.”
~~~~~~
Memories rapidly flooded her mind. She remembered the first time they’d met. He was walking with his metal detector along the shore. She was photographing the hazy afternoon sky. He had glanced her way.
“Do you always photograph people passing by?”, he said.
“No, only the good looking ones,” she replied.
Thus, the beginning of what would turn out to be a whirlwind romance.
He’d found an antique timepiece that day. It would be her wedding gift.
~~~~~~~
“I’ll bring the bordeaux,” he quickly added.
“I can’t wait”.
She hung up the phone and smiled.
“I wonder who that was”.

Inside the Mind of Isadora

That’s very sad Isadora. She finds who she loves than can’t remember who he is on the phone. Unfortunately the beginning of illness I think. Great write!

Yes, Madibelle, it’s the beginnging stages of Alzheimer’s disease. The robbing of ones mind where
the past is the only thing they can rely on remembering. It’s a sad disease. I’m pleased you thought it was great.
Thank you …

Ahhh … Jacqueline
I know you know that the reader – in a good novel – should never know where it’s going to go.
I’ve been trying to hone my skills in that area. If I captured you, I feel I’ve improved.
Your comment leaves me with a big smile. Thanks you ….

I’ve seen a bit of what it can do to the mind. Yes, memories of the past seem to be what they remember.
The present is where it gets hazy to remember. I’m pleased you enjoyed it, Tom. Thank you for your support.
