100 Words Replay 4

We loved seeing them every few days as they walked in the square outside our office window. An elderly couple, one stooped over a walker, is not an uncommon sight in this city – but these two, garbed in identical dramatic outfits that went farther than simple matching windbreakers, stood out. Some days each sported a metallic silver coat and jauntily angled scarlet tam. Other times, head to toe matching plaid. Seeing their spunky getups always brought smiles to each of our faces.

We didn’t see the two of them for a long time… then, one day, just the wife.

It makes you wonder if something happened to the man. How sad that she is now alone.

  That’s how we felt too. It’s amazing how attached we had become to people none of us had ever even met!

Oh this is sad. I love people-watching and making my own stories about them.
