“Good Will Bride”
By Scott L Vannatter – 100 words
Sam, 73, was not certain what had brought him to Donovan’s 2nd Hand-me-downs. He stopped, hand on the door, and looked. Everything jumped out at him, but it was the bridal gown in the front window that stopped him in his tracks. Yes, that’s what he had seen from the street. He had not been certain then, but now it was the thing. His mind had put together what his senses had not: the sleeves, the cut, and the veil, all of it. He rushed in.
“Help you?”
“The bridal gown. I want it. It belonged to my late wife.”

When my mother passed she had no insurance. To help with expenses I placed her clothes in the local consignment shop. I live in a very small town and her things were purchased by a woman or women that looked very much like her from behind. It was very disconcerting.

Dear Scott,
Crowded in that store, wasn’t it?

It’s a lovely story, but I was hoping you’d trash it at the end such as
“It belonged to my late wife and I always wanted to wear it.” But sweet is nice too!

Lol, that would have been fun.
I decided to mess people up with my being sweet,
Apparently, it worked.

Hi Scott,
I almost used this same exact plot line, but in the end I went another direction. I thought a lot of writers would spin stories around the wedding dress, but I was wrong. Only your story and one other, among the ones I’ve read, centered around the dress. Naturally, I think your story is brilliant. Ron

Not that you’re modest or anything (re your comment on mine) 😉 One wonders what adventures the dress has had since his wedding – if things could talk, eh?

Since “sweet’s” already been used, I’ll merely say that he must have really enjoyed finding and purchasing the dress.

I can only imagine myself how it would feel to lose a person and the dress, then find the outfit.
