Finding Hope in the Attic
Drabble # 129
Tucked between the floor boards in her grandmother’s attic, 13 year old Eva finds a parchment. The writing is worn but she can still decipher the words. “Have hope, dear Eva”. Eva believes that someone knows what she has suffered and is sending her this message.
Eva sits nervously waiting to be called in for her final interview. She’s worked hard for this. The darker days are behind her and she hasn’t looked back. She reaches in her pocket and feels the soft parchment with her fingers. Eyes closed, these are the words that changed everything . “Have hope dear Eva”.
