Flash Fiction 99 word challenge for the Carrot Ranch Literary Community

This weeks prompt is Sketch…

Looking for something to inspire me, I took a walk through our local flea market and fell in love with a half-finished sketch of a young woman lying on a grave.

I was about to ask how much, when a man standing beside me, said ‘It’s sad but lovely, isn’t it?’

My heart jumped so hard I thought I would join the woman at the graveside.

I turned to see who had spoken, but there was no one standing beside me.

The price was just £40 because it was unfinished work.

We love doing these, even though keeping to the 99 word rule is a bit of a challenge!
