About Her Short Story
Before Today Fades by E. C. Colton
Five years ago, Madison’s grandmother passed away, leaving her family—and especially her grandfather—reeling from the sudden loss. Ever since, Madison’s been set on being there for him, carrying his grief so he won’t have to carry it alone. A task that’s admittedly proved difficult amidst the shifting seasons of young adult life.
But with a dream career opportunity comes the first year Madison won’t be home to support her grandfather. She’s prepared for this, luckily, with a scrapbook page compiling the last happy memories her family shared before her grandmother’s cardiac arrest. A keepsake to comfort him when she can’t.
Only when everything unravels a day before the anniversary, leaving her without the necessary photos and running unplanned errands with her grandfather, Madison is torn between doing whatever it takes to salvage the old memories or choosing to create new ones.
