This post is part of the December Blog Chain at Absolute Write. This month’s challenge is to write hint fiction: a story 25 words or less.
“Why do you keep requesting that same waltz?” the bandleader cried.
“Because I wrote it,” the old man said, “and it reminds me of her.”
Check out this month’s other bloggers, all of whom have posted or will post their own hint fiction:

“Play it, Sam”…sentimental, but almost desperately so. Very nice!

Nice piece of hinting there. A touch of sadness…

Really swell stuff! An emotional haymaker wrapped tightly into a twenty-five-word bundle.

I like it. I envision what follows as a lengthy flashback to a wonderful affair. Very evocative.
