60 Word Saga : Let It Be

Having been tagged by Nishant to create my own, I present my 60 word saga on the prescribed topic (Let It Be).


Let It Be
_________________

CRASH!

Johnny stiffened as he feared he had broken one of Aunt Helen's antiques.

Aunt Helen came rushing through the door with a look of horror on her face, having feared the worst.

Noting the broken antiquity on the floor, she sedated and to Johnny's relief, said "Don't worry about it. It was my Mother-In-Law's. Let it Be."

________

Note :- I can't figure out if M-I-L is to be considered one word or three. I've taken it as 3 but MS Word considers it one. Thus, if MS Word's judgement prevails over mine, then "Noting" may suitably be replaced by "Taking note of".

Thank you!

I tag anyone who must be reading this and hasn't written his/her own 60 word saga.

Cool. I liked it. It's addictive, you know. I feel like writing another 60-word story... How about making it more difficult and trying a 20-word one? Anybody game?

a 20-word one would mean a two-line story...a lil too difficult, dont ya think?

I certainly think 20 words is pretty impossible.
JS, why don't you show the way?

I could have stopped. I could win their approval.
Amma must be sobbing now, her tears mingling with the sweat as she watched the fumes of milk boiling.
Father would have walked out, adopted his code of silence.
I will come back one day to fix this, pain anger or disappointment. Right now I had things to take care of.
