Exactly 55 words



“I’m happy for you, I really am” her voice cracked as she whispered into the phone.

“You were right. I need to make a clean start”. He admired the new, shiny, gold band on his finger.

Neat. Tidy even.

And fiction or not, I guess ALL of us have a story very similar to that one to tell, in varying degrees of impact it had on our lives, but a similar story none the less...

Wander: Sometimes it shatters into so many pieces that there's no way to collect it all.

Grrl: It's ok Grrl. (hands you some tissue)

Jay and Lavi: : )

S and Gypsy : Thanks!

Sun, Casa, Gettingthere: I read all of yours and thought they were great. I love that so much can be expressed by 55 simple words.

MM: I did have fun. Thanks!

Stuti: It's all about self-preservation I suppose.
