Drabble #41: Buried
Title: Unburied
Author: scarlett71177
Characters/Pairings: Alice
Rating: G
Prompt: Buried
Word Count: 100
Crumbling remains of the scalloped marble stone had eroded away in shards and grains, hidden under the dried, yellowing grass, scorched by the radiating heat of the summer sun. A warm Gulf breeze salted the air.
The stone itself had shifted, slowly leaning west over the years due to unstable ground upset by the roots of a nearby Magnolia tree whose pink-white petals frosted the grass in springtime.
Though in certain disrepair, the relic had recently been tended: the grass clipped, weeds pruned, and the engraved lettering free from debris to reveal the words In Memory of Mary Alice Brandon.
