Hi Glenn.

This is a very well-developed character sketch of a tough, old woman facing death all alone.

Facing (and faced, I think.)

I find myself writing pieces like this that can’t seem to decide whether they want to be poems or flash fiction.
I know what you mean.
I think there is enough meat to this character to warrant developing it into a short story.
Interesting.
I would be interested in getting the responses of Junior and her ex-husband to her death.
I'm not sure the ex is still alive.
With so few possessions, would she have left a will?
Who knows what she tucked away for a rainy day?
Would her son, husband, and maybe sister fight over the trailer home and her few treasures?
I suppose that would depend on how well they did.
Hope this is helpful.
It's certainly food for thought. Many thanks.

RG.
