That's a nice piece of FF that makes you think.
And yeah, I agree. Whoever said life begins at 40 knew nothing. The only thing that begins at 40 is painful joints and more time in the toilet.

This flash fiction story is exactly 100 words. It's also about a touching topic. I like that the last sentence sums up the sentiment succinctly! Poor old coots!

Oh my gosh, what a well-written piece of flash fiction. You succeeded in 100 words to paint such an engaging picture of what it feels like to grow old, separately and together. It has color, texture, and nuance. Good luck in the contest.

Hmm, well I would guess the man was old when Abner was still a puppy. But, I suppose that doesn't matter. Aging seems the central theme here and most of the factors of that is on the dog. I think will appeal to dog or pet owners in or who have been in similar situations.
Good luck in the contest.
