For those who are new, Rochelle shares a photo prompt to which several #FridayFictioneers compose a 100-word flash of fiction. Come, take what you need for there is plenty.
Not my typical story, but at times it’s important to reflect, and I am thankful.
Here’s my contribution:
Waiting For A Sign
Clouds seemed to press in from all sides as Sara trod down Bushwood Street, mulling over her available options. The rent would be due in just a few days. She was hungry and cold, hell, she was a mess both physically and emotionally. And there was no help, nobody to turn to. The old Sunday School mantra of “The Lord helps those who help themselves” rang in her mind and she would have laughed if she wasn’t already crying. She was trying as best she could.
She looked up. There, hung in the window was a Help Wanted sign.

The Bradley Chronicles 
Just in the nick of time!
But, I want to know more!

God, I hope she gets a job at that cool diner. This had a natural flow to it that I enjoyed. I never remember to be thankful on Thanksgiving. I’ll try to remember next year, though…
Beautifully described and I do love a hope ending.Well done.
Nice story. Loved this line… she would have laughed if she wasn’t already crying.
Dear JK,
Now there’s a sign in the most literal sense. I love your departure. A complete story in a 100 words. Well done.
shalom,
Rochelle
Dear J.K.,
You gave us all we needed. Thank you. Great story and perfect for the day.
Aloha,
Doug
Very uplifting.
I guess the only body we get from you this week is a turkey carcass, and by now, it’s been picked clean. I think she was ready and willing to help herself. All she needed was an opportunity and now that has been provided. Thanks plenty to be thankful for.
Aww,such a sweet story in here-loved it:-)
