Clara's Infamous Key Lime Pie [100-Words]

[photo courtesy 100wordstory.org]

Clara wasn’t sure how to sign a letter to a dead man. Not because she was at a loss for words; for she had written salutations in the past. It was the mechanics of it. The pencil-lead broke towards the end.

My Dearest Bubba,
I hope you enjoyed your last slice of my special key lime pie. I know Roberto, Nico and Bjorn certainly did. They all said it was a pie to die for, may they rest in peace. Here’s wishing you a happy afterlife!
Yours Truly,
Clara Santiago-Papadopoulos-Jorgensen-Delmont
(Please forgive my switch from pencil to blue ink.)
