Broken Places

 1 - Minute Prompt

    Something in your environment has become damaged, be it a tangible object or an idea. Identify whatever it is then write a short obituary for That Which Is Broken.

   We are gathered here today to morn the loss of this Jeep's power steering pump. This pump has been a part of this Jeep's life for twenty-four years. It gave the Jeep a smooth ride up and over many sandy terrains. The pump also gave the Jeep life, while gliding down the road in all of its shinney, reflective, and glittered glory. Throughout the pumps life she began to get weaker and weaker with age. She started to whine a bit in the last years of her life. I can remember the last trip I took with her. She was doing an amazing job in the dunes. However, with her ever growing weak heart, she just could not push through. As much as she tried to stay strong in the adventure she lost her battle. This pump will be forever missed and will always be in our hearts. We will miss her dearly. Fair well pump, may you for ever rest in peace.
