Weekly Prompts The One Day Prompt
#11. Gorgeous graphic is by Kevin @
The Beginning At Last/No Theme Thursday.
In 69 words exactly, this is my story.
Was a time when old Jedediah would be reeling in catfish all day. He’d lean back, light his pipe and watch them practically jump into his creel. His basket would be bursting some days, he’d barely get home without the strap snapping. His sweet wife LaviniaMae would revel in his catch, kiss his cheek and call him the best angler she ever married! One day, it would happen again.
