Those Darling Girls

Uncategorized 1 Minute

He sat on a bench in the graveyard when he saw among the headstones two little girls in iridescent white dresses. A old woman sat next to him.

“Do you see them?” she asked. “Those darling girls drowned in the river a long time ago. Now they welcome the newly dead.”

The woman disappeared, but now the girls were beside him. They took his hands. All he felt was peace.

The photo is of an old graveyard. It looks like it’s beside a church. At any rate the headstones look to be quite old.
