July 2024 Drabble Challenge: In Dependence
Using prose and exactly 100 words, tell me a story about a dependency. Interpret how you will, but please use standard punctuation, spacing, grammar, and spelling. Winner gets a little prize; I will read all entries and choose a victor in August. There is no need to tag me. Let's see some creativity!
Achilles heel
You can exist without me, but I don't think I could live without you. Truly.
I could bear losing a lot of things, money, jobs, lovers, friends, family, but a world without you just would not be worth sticking around.
So far, you have been with me through all my heartaches, changes and tribulations. No matter how far from home I wander - I can always find you. In the kitchen, on the balcony, in bed.
So comforting and warm, you dull the sharp edges of life, you soothe and cradle my sore mind.
I couldn't live without hot tea.
