This week’s photo prompt is provided by Dawn Miller. Thank you Dawn for our photo prompt!
Table 19
“John, every time we come in this little cafe, I see that table over there with two paper cups and the number 19 on it. Is there a reason for it?” Alexis asked.
“Yes, the owners always served two children at that table and they always ordered two small cups of tea.”
“You said served, what happened to them?”
“They were on a camping trip and killed in an accident.”
“Were they real close friends of the owners?”
“No, they were their son and daughter and they had always sat at that table and use to pretend they were customers.”
“Their parents can not bring themselves to get rid of table 19 or serve anyone there.”
