** Just for the fun of it…Can you write a little story that includes these words in this order?
As I am 58 years old, this is definitely not homework; Merely wholesome fun on YA.
SURPRISE
HOMECOMING
DECORATIONS
TEA
YUMMY
COZY
LETTER
MUSIC FROM THE FABULOUS 60′S
BUCKINGHAM PALACE
HEADLINES IN THE NEWSPAPERS
There was no surprise on the faces of the somber group as they waited for the casket to be taken off the plane. This was not the kind of homecoming they had envisioned three years ago when their youngest brother had been drafted into the army and left for Vietnam.
No decorations, no hoopla, no cheers and shouts of joy. Only tepid tea or coffee in styrofoam cups, gripped tightly in the hands of the huddled family. One sister had to smile, though ruefully, at the memory of how her little brother used to enjoy the yummy cookies she would send him every month. She tried to make the letter that she sent along reflect the cozy atmosphere of home, but she knew he had a hard time adjusting to being in the service.
Then, the family got a letter of their own—the one every military family dreaded. The brother was gone. Just like that. No more music from the fabulous 60’s blaring from his radio in his room. No more posters of the Beatles, the “Swinging” London scene or Buckingham Palace would adorn his walls. His room would probably become a shrine, if she knew their Mom, thought the sister.
The casket was loaded into the waiting hearse and the family hugged each other one more time before going their separate ways.
Somewhere, the headlines in the newspapers trumpeted that the President felt the war was going well.
Not today on this windswept tarmac.
