Alive

Sometimes I scroll on the obituaries, and see people who had dreams, life, and something to live for; I see their eyes looking back at me, with “you have something to live for”, glowing in their eyes….. Word Count: 37 Date: 25/02/2017

Teddy, I love it. Never thought of this, never heard anything like it before. Yet I look at obituaries too. I anteed up a 7 here. : ) Although I felt compelled to look up the spelling of the past tense of "ante," and one or two 'e's are both correct. I went with two - felt it looks a little better. But what do I know? They don't talk to me. ; )
