The prompt this week is 'fence'.

Here goes my #fiftyword story:

                       Title: The Longest Distance 

"You have got to stop enabling him.He is a fence for God's sake," they told me."He has to hit bottom."

When he fell through, they said "It wasn't your fault."

This must be what they mean by,"The longest distance is between the head and the heart."

A mother isn't supposed to outlive her child.

Thank you for reading!!!
