  • What I Had Told You Under the Smoky Sky

    My nose pressed up against the car window, I waved - my hand beginning to tire as I watched her clouded, red eyes - a give away to her otherwise cheerful expression. And then she was gone. Seven hours away for seven years now; only photos taped to my wall to remind me of those eyes.  That was the first time I said goodbye. After Jenna left, I found myself wandering; helplessly alone.

Every spring and summer, they were there. They never went away. They were a certainty. It was a pleasant thought that day.It was too hot for the suit, he thought, but he knew why he had to wear it. He grabbed at the black tie and loosened it a bit. The jacket was already on the picnic table and he felt a little better without all that dark clothing on his back....Xsoone door
