Love Letter

The love letter fell from her fingers onto an open newspaper. She bent forward in her chair and heaved a deep, broken sob, her entire world shrinking into this one, singular moment. Ink wet with tears, the signature on the letter ran together with the author’s printed name on the newsprint beneath, among the obituaries.

  1. One wonders where the story goes from there... or how it got there in the first place. An intriguing 55!

  4. Just excellent! This is actually about the length of a sappy romance that my husband can read. Ha ha. I loved it and, being a woman, would enjoy a whole movie of this :)
