This week the prompt is "shelter". I hope to be able to capture the essence of this simple but powerful word. I have included the link to this week's challenge in case you'd like to participate: It's the only way to start the week...it's ZapFicMonday! Write me a story using 240-characters or less.

Thank you @felt.buzz, @Zapfic.Club, and Freewriters Community for this writing exercise. As required in the rules. I have taken a screenshot of the word counter for this story.

I hope you like my story for this week's prompt:


For nearly 10 years, the storage shed and attic held mothers' antiques, movies, and sporting cards.

The last winter storm severely damaged the shelters.

Cleaning begins.

Mother's anxious as she hands over her rare treasures.

New homes await.


See you next time.

Thanks,
@clicks2cash

Hello @clicks2cash. I can understand not wanting to part with your collectibles. I'm one of them. However, sometimes circumstances force you to part with them. I can feel her pain. Hope their new homes treat them with love and respect. But I know she'll stop by and check up on them from time to time!

Nicely done. Thanks for sharing. Take care and have a good rest of your week.
