500 Pounds of Pasta
Fiction Inspired by a bizarre true story.
I didn’t cry until I saw the pasta. 500 pounds of uncooked pasta hidden away in mom’s pantry. Handmade, the pasta maker is still dusted with powder. Until now I had managed to not miss mom. But knowing she’d spent endless hours making pasta she’d never get to share with her family, friends, and community, finally broke me. Was she cooking for an entire branch of the military when she died? I have no idea. I also have no idea what I am going to do with 500 pounds of uncooked pasta. The absurdity turns crying into laughing. Classic Mom.
