50-Word Stories

Please enjoy my microfiction, “A Widower’s Decline,” first published in 50-Word Stories

Numbness spread through him as the years passed, undoing the wishes they made throwing pennies into Fontaine des Mers while strolling the Place de la Concorde. Now, a lifetime later and too old for dreams, he tossed pocket change in a jam jar next to their bed before falling asleep.
