Hope for all. by Yardier
Flash 100 writing prompt entry

“Let me get this straight. You say I’m going to die, right? What kind of doctor are you?”

“You interrupted me, Yolonda. I said, ‘You are healthy enough to live a full life before you die.’"

“That’s pretty blunt, doc.”

“The truth usually is.”

“That’s just rude.”

“Would you feel better if I told you, you have stage four breast cancer?”

“Are you serious?”

“Yes, I’m serious regarding a person’s health. If you realized you were terminal, which many of my patients have, would you hope for hope? Hope for one more day? You have many days before you.”



Writing Prompt
Write a flash fiction story. But you can only use 100 words. Exactly. Title does not count in the word count.

Author Notes
It is a terrible pronouncement to discover one has stage four cancer. One must consider their last days. Last days with chemo, last days with hospice and last days with tube feeding and personal hygiene conducted by another.
Be grateful of your health, be grateful for the next days sun, and be grateful for family and friends who love you.
