I started writing a story about the recent events in Manchester and London in word then copied and pasted it to WordPress – it was one hundred and twenty three words in total. Then I started editing. I now would also like to remove the first sentence! So just a shadow of my story remains; the darkness of the sculpture reminded me of a shadow
Thank you Keith. Here is a bit of a back story about together, I started writing a story about the recent events in Manchester and London in word then copied and pasted it to WordPress – it was one hundred and twenty three words in total.

Poignant and bittersweet sentence, and back story. The events in London and Manchester do weigh heavy. The statue does seem a shadow, a frozen moment passed by.
It is senseless; rather than blowing themselves up, I would ask the terrorist’s to dedicate themselves to the really hard work of improving the lives of impoverished people.
Wow, short and to the point, Michael.
No background?

Nicely done, Michael, very impressive.
But I have forgotten the first sentence already!
Me too.
Indeed it will. Delightful.

Thank you Lorraine, acts of terrorism do no good for any one.
I think this might be a new genre Michael – mysterious minimalism? I like it.
JS Brand What a lovely comment, thank you so much.
Oh, that kind of shadow. Tragedy and terrorism. Such a senseless loss of life.

This is one of the shortest stories yet, Mike but good writing. 🙂 — Suzanne

The backstory of how this came to be makes it even more poignant. Very powerful Michael.
