Saturday Centus: Only Words

Jenny asked us to use 100 words and the prompt:
It's only words. And words are all I have...
It was hard for me to think with the BeeGees singing in my brain!

The dashboard clock confirmed he had just enough time to grab some flowers and stop by the jewelers. She need not know their anniversary had slipped his mind; but with the new project at work, things had been pretty hectic. He pulled out to pass....
.... he awakened one sense at a time. He could hear, and finally he could see.  She was holding his hand against her tear-moistened cheek. Awareness dominoed in from his fingers and crashed into his heart. He turned his head and whispered, “I love you. With all my heart.  It’s only words. And words are all I have to give to you right now.”

  5. Wow! I'm sure it's not easy to come up with something to write and so few words. You have a great talent for it. I think I will write down these prompts and see if I can do it. I'm not at all sure.
