#WritcoStoryPrompt
Write a short story using at least three from the five prompts given:
An empty suitcase full of memories.
The messages added salt to wounds.
The car accelerated before the signal turned green.
A wardrobe full of clothes that still had their tags on.
A dust free bookcase could hide a lot of lies.

An empty suitcase returned, just to bring some unwanted memories with it, the clothes, the badge, all were taken by the army, as he didn't deserved any of it. After the news the messages came,written on a paper wrapped around stones, stones didn't hurt that much, as much as the messages added salt to the wounds. He hardly came home when he was alive, but sent gifts that earned from innocent blood, his son has a wardrobe full of clothes, that still had their tags on, son never touched the cloth, he knew it came from cursed money, he just wanted this to be over, he just wanted to thank the army for ending this, but what is his or his mother's fault, they didn't choose this, they were scared just like everyone else, they were afraid to die too. The son can be called the terrorist's son, but that doesn't make him the terrorist, he will work for the country to wash the disgrace that hisfather brought upon the family, the son lived only to join the army and killed several terrorist to save his country, to save his land, died a martyr and the proud mother received honor medal in his son's name, she just looked up the sky, to thank him for he gave her the chance to live with her head held high, those tears from her eyes, revealed the story of choice, nothing makes you good or evil but it is you who choose your own destiny.
