    Default My short story

    Hello,
    This is my first story can anyone correct it please


    Towards the end of September at ten O'clock in the morning I met a man by accident and maybe it was the destiny that gathered us again. When our eyes have met, I lost myself.
    "Who is that man?" I thought.
    Quick scenes of wonderful time crossed my mind and sailed me to the time when I smiled, laughed and shared the happiest moments.
    He walked close to me I heard his sweet voice through my ears
    "Did we meet before?"
    What a lovely voice he had! His facial expressions were wonderful and his bright eyes were so wistful.
    "Maybe" I said
    "Sure we did I feel that I know you"
    I felt the same too. I felt there wasn't only a meeting, but a great bond we shared together. I thought I know this good-looking face and that I touched it one day.
    He held my hands "We were lovers" he said. The touch of his hand was the same as I have always felt. I remembered him.
    "Yes, you were, and still, my love" I said
    "I am eager to hear it again" he said
    I smiled "I love you"
    Then he hugged me. His warm chest was always my head rest.
    Nothing interrupted this long romantic hug except a voice was calling "grandma, grandma…"
    "This is my granddaughter I take her to walk everyday" I smiled "It was a long time and I am grandma now"
    "I am a grandpa too but my love for you is still young"
    I bid farewell to him. When the sun sat down, we were continuing our separated lives.

    It needs a lot of rewriting. For example, "He walked close to me I heard his sweet voice through my ears" should be changed to something like "He walked close to me. His sweet voice was music to my ears".

    (Note that the original is really two sentences.)

    Memories came to mind--memories of smiles and laughter.
