Words Ever Unspoken
Years
have passed since Carson and Melissa broke up. Even though time has
passed, both still dwell on the last time the two were together. Was
that night a way of marking the end of their relationship, or was it a
desperate attempt on both their parts to prevent their breakup from
being permanent? Neither of them said a word during that last time
together. Will either of them be able to find the words to express what
is going on inside their minds and hearts today?
It's a Surreal Thing
He
was deep into that summer between being a kid and being a teenager. She
was the kind of woman that was the building block of a young man’s
fantasies. As he sat there alone, she walked up behind him unnoticed and
for a brief moment became the center of his universe when she made a
simple request… a swig of his Coke.
Just Down from Rimpy’s Bait Shop
Peter’s
most turbulent years were spent with his grandfather. Now, as the man
he loves begins to succumb to the deterioration of age, the younger man
feels himself using the same techniques his grandfather used.
Fertilizing a section of the lawn should be a simple thing, especially
when there are explicit directions. But then again, maybe not.
A Scents of the Virus
A
sleepless night filled with the boredom of the COVID19 lockdown, a
distracting ad on the Internet, and a credit card in hand lead to the
purchase of a Hollywood star’s latest vanity project: A candle with a
unique scent. The first time Munro smells it, he realizes the memory it
evokes from his past is one he suppressed for many years. A woman and
relationship his heart and body cherished. Still, his mind wouldn’t let
him recall until the aroma surrounded him.
