Vermont Maple (#Split)
The majestic maple lumbered tall — providing extra shade to our sagging front porch. Each autumn she would cover the ground with thick layers of crisp, colorful leaves and we would pile them higher than we could stand. She watched us play.
When a major storm swept through and lightning split her down the middle it was only a matter of time. The weight of her once steady limbs now threatening — we chopped her down. She became the heat for our home through the long winter. To the end she gave.
If you enjoy these very short stories, you can also check out one of my earliest books – MONTY’S VERY SHORT SHORTS which includes 366 illustrated pieces (one for each day in my life of 2020).
Be well,
