PHOTO PROMPT © J Hardy Carroll
Her mother had not revealed much about her father. Always, while questioning her she was met with a blank expression. All that she knew of him was that he had died while her mom was pregnant. Then, why the reluctance to share details of him with her, she often used to wonder.
413216,Yello*,Hubli** scribbled in her mother’s beautiful writing. Clutching that piece of paper fervently, she kept it for herself.
On the threshold of last ring on the other side a sweet voice drawled, “Yello!”
Did she arrive at the right voice for her answers?
<100 words
Yello* :- That’s how her father used to answer the call.
Hubli** :- A city in Karnataka state, India.

You had me curious for more. What’s next? An illegitimate child, a dysfunctional family scattered across three continents. Good going, Kitty.

Satisfaction, a happy reunion, rejection, or Pandora’s box of woes? The risk factor is high in a quest like this. Like the others I’d like to see how you resolve this.

Hey, you can build up further on the story…It’s got potential… Also It’s not good to leave the audience in a state of animated suspense 🙂
