Here is the prompt

What I See
A couple, who is sitting right in front of the food, seems disturbed about something.

What I feel
They are concerned about how to solve tsome serious issue.

The story
A couple in their 50's meet their ends by running a small grocery shop.

But due to sudden rise in prices of the commodities, they have to borrow a huge sum from a land owner, who lents money with huge interest.

Though for a short while the market went on well. Due to some hindrances, once again the store ran on loss, which meant they will not be able to pay the interest on time, apart from the loan.

Deeply disturbed by this cause, they were in a confusion as to how to move forward with their life. They came to the conclusion even to end up their life as nobody close to them was their to assist them.

The depression further led them to sell their only means of bread, the grocery store, to the land owner. But he was a kind hearted person who inturn, wrote off all the debts as well as returned back the store to the middle aged couples.

Now that was a kind gesture of the land owner to write off the debt of the couple. They were at their wits end to figure out how to keep the store up and running. Fortunately, there are kind people still left in this world.

Thanks for sharing. Nice story. Take care.
