Thank you to @jayna for hosting yet another weekly 50-Word Short Story challenge, you can find this week's prompt here: Gift
"Keep them closed!"
Her eyes scrunch and my heart clenches, "I have a surprise."
She replies with a smile and bubbling laughter.
"Do you know what day it is?"
She shakes her head furiously.
"Open your eyes!" I exclaim.
Her eyes flutter open with a big grin.
"Happy Christmas Eve!"
I really like the sense of fun and surprise in this story, @jewlzie. You’ve captured that childlike experience when something wonderful is afoot.
Thank you so much for reading!
