Postcard from Paris
A Microfiction
I never was good at math, but I sure could count well enough. And you taught me that it takes one hundred pennies to make a dollar.
I also remember the first time I saw that magazine picture. The one of the Eiffel Tower. I'd never seen anything so lovely, hadn't even dared to dream something so beautiful. I asked you how much money it would take to travel that far. You said it would take a whole lot of pennies.
I finally saved enough. I'm sorry it took so long, but I'll be sure to send a postcard from Paris to heaven.
Author's Note: Had to publish twice today, but I made it! I've got 99 stories and a challenge to come!
Update: Challenge is on! And this micro is one of my example entries! Check out the details in the sort linked below.
