December 13, 2018, prompt: In 99 words (no more, no less) write a story about Cora Kingston. You can answer any of the questions history obscures or completely make up a Cora Kingston story. Go where the prompt (and the name) leads you.
I was searching for my grand parents grave when I came across the gravestone of Cora Kingston.
It wasn’t all that remarkable save for the one line that grabbed my attention: “A baker of delicious apple pies and slices”.
I thought she must have made a mark on those around her for that line to be etched onto her gravestone.
She eighty-nine years old, so the stone said, I calculated that was a lot of apple pies.
I assumed this lady was missed in death, the tribute said so much, and I wondered what they might add about me.

Good one! They would say that you were a great writer?
Thanks Sadje. I’m not so sure about the great writer bit, I just enjoy what I do.
That is what is most important in life.
Well should you realise I’m not writing anymore, either its not fun for me anymore or I’m dead!!!
I hope you keep on enjoying your writing. And stay alive. 😊
So do I.
👍
I see an impact of the festival season on your writing. 😀
Michael glad you found Cora’s grave giving us the end of her story. Apple pie maker – what a claim to fame. Perhaps they’ll say on yours ” a flasher of the nth degree.”
Thanks Irene for your lovely comment
Wow, nice one, and a different take on the prompt, taking me to a completely different direction. To be known as a baker of apple pies, not a bad thing to be. ~nan
Thanks so much I appreciate your thoughts.
I liked this take, Michael.
Thanks Robbie and best wishes for Christmas 🎄
You too, Michael.
