In response to the Six Sentence Story Weekly Challenge
Centered
Careful to stay on point, I choose the place to position my focus
Everything around me has faded as I center my thoughts on the focal point
Not to be sidetracked, I fight the urge to look about and mind wander
Telling myself this is for a purpose I try my best to stay on point
Eventually, I loosen up, letting go of intrusive thoughts as I gain clarity
Releasing my anxieties, focusing on the point, breathing naturally, I am centered
Violets
It was just a remnant in the bargain bin.
Tiny violets were printed on a tight leno weave.
I cut the facings and carefully handled the fabric.
The most delicate effort produced a baby dress.
Violets for sweet Violet, the baby new to us.
A grand star in the soft light of dusk.

Sweet Daddy
Daddy, I miss you and who you were
and how together we’d family surf.
You taught me to love the taste of candy
and to get chocolate stars was dandy.
A quarter at the candy store
would take me hours to spend for sure.
When days were long, and thoughts were few
that bag of candy would get me through.
Ice cream was our best shared treat
and you would buy it for the kids on our street.
They’d gather ‘round for ice cream cones
and with you as their surrogate, they felt at home.
…
There you have it! That is my Six Sentence Story to the prompt word “quarter.”
