Killing Memories
She knocked at the door but got no response. She knocked harder, again and again. Finally her ten year old angel opened the door.
“Are you ok princess??” she asked her, quickly glancing around the room for the source of smoke.
“Yes mumma”, she said smilingly.
“what did you set at fire?? And why?” she asked angrily as she pointed at something burning in the corner of the room.
“Mom, I had a fight with Ryna, I am no more friends with her so I was killing memories we had together.”
If only burning pictures could erase memories, she thought.

Killing Memories- Tatiana Moore
Estela Ramos isn’t looking for love and thinks there’s nothing wrong with that. But ask her mother or best friend and they’d tell you different. Moo says Estela fears rejection while her mother thinks she’s too gordita. Maybe they’re both right, but Estela is pretty damn happy with the status quo, well, sorta.
At 26 years old, Estela is completely inexperienced in love, and the women in her life just won’t let her die a lonely virgin spinster with donut glaze on her face. She has no time for men, but after a few matchmaking attempts, courtesy of Moo and Estela’s family, men begin descending upon her with great gusto and flair. One who may be the Antichrist, or at the very least have a psycho-complex, won’t take “no thanks” for an answer. The other, with striking green eyes and gentle touch, makes her entire body pulse and buzz.
Estela is overwhelmed by both and one thing’s certain: She won’t get anywhere if she can’t learn to forget the past and really see the one who stands in front of her, eager to love her as she is.

Oh, can imagine her stress.. Yes, if only we could erase memories as easily some times….
I bet she’ll regret that later, after they make up! 🙂 Yes, it would be nice if we could erase bad memories so easily.
A 10-year-old’s action!!! Kids love with all their heart be it friends or family, and so their reaction would be extreme, too
Innocence in children is beautiful to witness. She was hurt and did what she thought would help, sweet tale.

If only it was that easy. Innocent children. Great 100 word fiction!
That’s a great image you portray with these words. How literal children are oftentimes! 😉 <3
