Romance in a Teacup

(An original 53-word story)

Born on opposite ends of the country, the tracks, and the racial divide, they met and married on golden autumn afternoons.

The children they made on cold winter evenings grew to their legacy; one chose black, one white, and one the Marines.

The night her heart quit, his tears rolled down her cheeks.
