It is still Friday somewhere, right? My apologies for getting this posted so late in the day.
As is the case whenever there is a “Wednesday’s What is It?”, my work of short-fiction exactly 100 words in length (aka a drabble) will reveal the mystery photo I posted on Wednesday.
Before I get to the drabble, I want to congratulate Angel of “Chronicles of a Rocket Surgeon“, who correctly identified the mystery photo. Well done, Angel. I was delighted to have you play the game.
I hope you enjoy the drabble, and I hope you’ll come back again next week. I’m enjoying these weekly challenges, and I appreciate your participation. Thank you.

The Fine Print
She strained her eyes, trying to read the words, and tilting the paper towards the light didn’t help. The print was too small.
A feeling of guilt grew inside her. She plopped down onto the chair and sighed. There wasn’t a reason to distrust him, yet he seemed secretive. She felt he was too protective of this message.
She wanted to make sure everything was OK. Going through his things was for his own good. She told herself.
She went downstairs and pulled a magnifying glass out of a storage box. She smiled as she read, “Happy Mother’s Day, Mom.”

Lenore's Thoughts Exactly 
My favorite so far. Not my favorite picture because your pictures are hard and that hurts my feelings because usually I consider myself smart. The Drabble, however, I just really liked it. That is all.
You are smart. Perhaps you are too smart?! I think that is the problem.
Glad you liked the drabble. It was slow to come, but once I got the idea – it flowed nicely.
I hope you had a nice Mother’s Day.
Good drabble, as usual, Lenore. Happy Mother’s Day!
Thank you, Patti. And, I appreciate your continued visits even though I’ve been absent. I hope you had a nice Mother’s Day.
Nice one! Totally had me.
Woo hoo! I like it when I stump you.
This drabble caught the “snooper” … draped her in a smile.

Ha. Nicely done, Maxi. Blessings to you.
Happy Mother’s Day!
Thank you, Georgette. I hope you enjoyed your Mother’s Day.
Loved this drabble, Lenore. Happy Mother’s Day to you!
Thank you, Darla. I hope you had a wonderful Mother’s Day. May the special treatment last all year long.
Awesome Drabble! I’m so happy I got it! Happy Mother’s Day, dear.
I was so proud of you for winning, Angel. 🙂 Thanks again for playing.
Good to be back reading you, Lenore.

Good to ‘see’ you, Priya. I hope to return on a regular basis – reading and writing more – alas, life is keeping me busy and away from creating. Soon, perhaps.
Good drabble! I didn’t guess the magnifying glass, though, so I feel like an idiot!
You, Peg, are no idiot. I’m glad the magnifying glass was challenging, because that is the point! (smile) Glad you liked the drabble.
