Title: The Farewell Note
#WritcoStoryChallenge
The letter carried brief instructions: 'Meet me at the corner of the street', it read. But who was it from?


The letter said, "Meet me at the street corner." It made the heart heavy. Emma went, wondering who wrote it. At the corner, her brother, Jake, appeared. His eyes told a tale of pain, and he handed her a small note. "I'm sick," it read, "but I wanted to say bye." Tears filled Emma's eyes. Jake's weak smile held so much, yet he struggled to say it.

Days went by, and Jake got weaker. In the end, he whispered, "Remember our laughs." Emma clutched the note close. Jake's breaths faded away, leaving an ache in her heart. At the quiet street corner, she felt the weight of loss.

The note became a treasure, holding the last words from a fading brother. Emma grieved for the laughter that would now only echo in her memories. In the hush of that sad street corner, she said a silent goodbye to Jake, forever carrying his fleeting presence in her heart.
