Untitled Short Scene
As Gabriella walked solemnly toward the kitchen, a stray tear tried to break free from the confinement of her eye. She stopped, took a deep breath and continued with her six –year- old niece trailing behind. Her niece went straight to the pantry and wrapped her fingers around the jar of peanut butter. With a smile, she handed it to Gabriella. Gabriella then reached up and took the loaf of bread from the top of the fridge and set it ever so gently on the counter. She headed back to the fridge; unconsciously her hands grasped the fig preserves. She took two pieces of bread and spread the peanut butter across one and when she popped open the lid of the preserves, the sweet aroma from the figs filled her nostrils; with that came the memories of her and her grandfather, causing a smile to form on her once solemn face.
