kate - a 100 word novel

I hadn't really expected to get any reaction to these, but Line, immediately below, has attracted a couple of interesting responses, which raise worthwhile points. Have a look at the comments and see what you think. In the meantime, here's another 100 word novel.

Kate

Kate had felt old, out of touch, and tired many times. Within a few years she would be reinvigorated and yet aware of how young she had been before. But now at eighty-six she realised there would be no change of perspective. She could only accommodate the slowness and aches, even if they sometimes made her cry, or shout with frustration.

She dropped a book one day, and found it so hard to pick up that after a time she beat it with a poker instead, shouting, 'Fuck!' Then sat and looked at how shrunk her hands were.
