Three months after Kate’s husband died, a hummingbird visited her kitchen window.
Shimmering in the morning light, its colors were very different from the other birds that buzzed around her yard. It hovered in front of the window, as if seeking her attention.
Feeling a strong connection to the bird, Kate placed her finger on the glass. The hummingbird touched its bill to the other side, and even followed her finger as she drew a figure eight. It stayed for a long beat, then backed away. And, with a glint in its eye, darted off.
Her husband had kept his promise.
Awesome piece of fiction.
Beautiful!
A Promise Kept immediately draws the reader into a space most can relate to, then leaves us wanting for more. Well done!
Such a beautiful poignant story. A tender moment in time that brings comfort and healing to a bereaved spouse. I was engaged immediately and wanted to read more. Thank you, Jennifer!
A moment in time, but so much more. The connection we feel sometimes to those that are gone, if only for a few seconds.
So much meaning poacked into so few words!
So much meaning packed into so few words!
What a touching story!! So beautiful.
So beautiful! So much shared in so few words.
Her words paint a vivid, beautiful picture I can see in my mind’s eye, yet the 101 words isn’t much more than they allow you on Twitter these days. Less truly is more.
I love this Jennifer! Brought a happy tear to my eye?
Meant ! not ?
So much pathos communicated in so few words. A wonderful moment shared so beautifully. Loved it!
Hard to believe you created an entire story in only a few words! A touching story without being sticky sweet and a good ending, too.
A lovely and poignant moment, beautifully captured.
Beautifully done, with a superb last sentence.
Wow! So touching! Brought a tear to my eye. I want to read more of your works.
I swiped the bottom of my i-pad in a rush. There had to be more. It couldn’t end here. Still grief stricken after enduring life for the last three months, the sun has indeed risen again for this anguished widow. Her pain released. The tightness that gripped her heart is free to leave her weary soul. Jennifer J had me from the opening line; a page-turner of what has to emerge as an acclaimed novel whenever Jennifer J is ready to share her work of fiction. This tease is so simple, yet true, for anyone who has lost a loved one has experienced incidents that proves the presence of that loved one is eternal.
So so beautiful..
A lovely moment and we’ll written. It allows the reader to picture it in their mind and leaves you wanting to want more!
