Yay! I actually managed to do a 100 word drabble! Keeping things short is always a struggle for me because I always have so much that I want to say but here I reigned it in and kept it to a minimum. Yes, it is sad and I honestly wasn't visualising on any one turtle, it really could be any of them... Even though this is short, I am rather proud of myself.

The Prompt word for this week was 'Gravestone'.

It was so painful standing there, staring at the epitaph. No matter how many times he blinked, stared at his toes or up towards the heavens, the name and inscription remained the same. It was a vain wish he supposed, hoping beyond hope that it ultimately was all a very bad dream. The turtle sighed, absently brushing away the offending tears that insisted on clinging to the underside of his eyes like dew to a rose in the early morning. The world would truly never be the same again. Trembling fingers rested atop the gravestone as he uttered, "Goodbye bro."
