Our wedding photo was gone! In it's place was her wedding ring ... and an envelope. I picked it up.

I rolled it between my thumb and forefinger, staring through the empty hole its circle created. Through it I saw the unsealed envelope, the last thing that remained of our brief union.

I could have opened it right then, standing there. It could be over. I could have thrown it away, unopened and lost. Instead, when I was ready, I picked up the envelope and tossed it under my pillow. |

The afternoon sun peered through the white curtains, a ghost enveloping the room. I fell prey to its soft weight and sunk slowly onto the bed, letting my head press heavily into the pillow. I dreamt. |

I was standing in a large meadow, surrounded by large yellow sunflowers. The sky had taken a purple tint, and the clouds were swirling in a circular pattern. I heard a faint voice off in the distance...

I heard a faint voice off in the distance... "Come, follow me." spoke a voice I couldn't place. "Where?" I asked, to no one, in a voice I never knew. "I'm sorry." was the last I heard of the shapeless voice. Or was it mine? |

Massaging the crick in my neck, I sat up carefully. I needed to talk to Karen, find out what was going on.

I didn't even feel the pain in my neck as my view suddenly turned form the door to the grape juice stain on the carpet. Now standing there, I lost my thought, I lost myself. Why did i get so upset at her? It was just a carpet, and the day had been so good. Last edited by moel : 07-03-2003 at 12:13 AM. |

I put a pot on the stove to boil water for the pasta, and turned on the radio. South American flute music and drums filled the air, and I sat at the table, lost in the music and the memories of nights he and I spent listening to this station. The water was boiling, so I put the pasta in the pot and remembered the familiar rituals he and I had togther and that, now that they are gone, I wistfully wanted. |
