He watched from his chair
as she rode away.
She promised to return,
he believed her every word.
He waited by the window
while the world fell away.
He was found in his chair
by the window
with her picture in his lap.

Insightful, and moving, take on the prompt.
Oooo. That’s sad.
Yes, sad … the chair and everything surrounding it feel that way. Nice job.
a very poignant write ….thank you
Aww… that is the second pretty sad one about this red chair… It must invoke a feeling of sadness… Lovely, sad though.
Yes, above all sad, but redeemed by the writing. Not sentimental.
A lifetime, or a moment of sadness – told with such completeness. I really enjoyed this. Thank you.
The picture you chose is wonderfully evocative. Given an extra emotive crust by your words . . .

I love that you didn’t tell the whole story, leaving the blanks for us to fill in ourselves. This is so sad. We don’t know if she was deceiving him or if something happened to her. How very Princess Bride.
