Falling Apart

Picking up the pieces…

This 43rd drabble is written as part of the “100 Story Challenge” by @Zane Dickens.

This experiment was originally done by Grim Flandango Every day he generates a random word. The word today is PUTTY.

She was perfect in every way. Robert knew how lucky he was to be able to call her his own. And he often reflected on how undeserving he felt. But he knew their first day together that their destinies were intertwined. They were meant to be together.

So what if every now and then a piece of her would fall away.

He kept the shards in a magical box that his ancestors passed down to him. And every now and then she would sit upon his knee, and he would use his magic putty to put her back together again.
