Weeping Woman | A 100 Word Story

#758 - La Llorona

“She’s been coming here for years. Sitting in the same spot. A hopeful expression on her face. Handing out flyers about her missing boy. But she’s different today. She keeps repeating the same thing over and over again. Just plain creepy.”

Rocking back and forth a woman sits mumbling to herself on a nearby bench. Her hair damp and unkempt. Dark circles under her eyes. Her nails bit to the quick. She scanned the crowds of people around her. Papers once on her lap scattered at her feet.

“He’s gone. He’s dead. He’s drowned. I’m gone. I’m dead. I’m drowned.”
