Lets hope he finds the answers he needs. Haunting post this week Sylvia, very nice. Hoping you have a wonderful week ahead.
Really good, had me asking so many questions.
I really loved this.
Hope you have a beautiful week and stay well!
Eery, good fun! Your flash fiction has sort of a Tales from the Darkside-y vibe going on this week. I like that!

This is so sad... You must be in a melancholy mood, Sylvia.
This is a great start of a mystery I'd love to read more about!
I like the poignancy of this MM, Sylvia....it's full of mystery.
Ooh-I like it! I went with the somber mood as well...
Wow--I like this one, Sylvia! I hope the poor soul finds clues to his heritage somewhere...
Have a great week. Cheers!
This is very good. Incredible. I have the chills!
Aww, such a sad story. Must be awful to not know where you came from. Have a great week Sylvia.
Wow, this is a great one for a dark and stormy night! Hope you have a great week, Sylvia, and thanks so much for stopping by my blog.

Wow -- just the teaser to a mystery to follow?
How sad. I could not imagine.
Sylvia, those skeletons have a way of returning, don't they!
..
this one is different. no funny anecdotes but interesting just the same :) nice job.
Oh nice one, Sylvia, I love the pathos in this one! It is sad when you don't know your past. Have a great week!

Sad but also a little chilling, that would make a great line in a Stephen King novel.
Self-identity is truly a mystery in your story. Like it lots!
:)
intriguing!
Great photograph and story again. Sylvia.
Thanks for sharing.
Have a great week.

Your 'falling snowflakes' added to the pathos.
Sad. Since my mother died when I was a baby, I know just how he feels.
I hope he finds out and it's not a shock!
An interesting idea, trying to find his identity in a church yard! Sad and a hint of mystery!
Interesting take on the photo. I like it.
Good question...
Great 140 Sylvia. I love how you wove this together.
I gave it a shot this week. First time. Eek!
Irony.
Well done. It sounds like a hook for a good book!
searching for his roots
could be wonderful or heartbreaking
well done Sylvia
So poignant. Cemeteries evoke all kinds of thoughts.
Very sad. I have avoided the cemetry . . . so far.
Poignant!
very spooky, makes me want to know more.
Came by to let you know about my giveaway, come enter when you get a chance.

a wee bit of mystery with a dash of melancholy thrown in. Nice.
Well, if they are so nicely buried, at least there is hope they were good people, right?
Enjoyed your story, and your lovely photographs captioned by my favorite American cynic, Mark Twain.
Very thought provoking :O)
gosh, we all have such different yearnings, don't we? Thanks for your story!
oh indeed
good one...
Sure hope he gets some answers. :O)
Oh, what a moment, and what a glimpse into a character's heart! Isolation and abandonment are the most painful things -- even when it was never on purpose -- I'd love to keep reading about his search.
Thanks for sticking with me Sylvia!
It makes me think of Halloween !
It's a sad feeling. It happens often enough. Not easy to determine which is which!
Very powerful image, Sylvia!
