Sometimes the distance between you and I spans more than the miles of telephone wire, or the pauses between breaths when thinking spins too fast, or the shattering of a sentence placed wrong. Sometimes everything stretches out into meaningless fog and crossing the dark bridge to be where you are seems impossible. I am battered now, and wonder, when I finally return, will you still love me?
Drew and Suzie are characters from my regular Friday serial Suzie’s House. This is a reflection on the part where he has moved to New Mexico for work, leaving her in Wisconsin.
The challenge, should you choose to accept it, is to write a story in exactly 55 words. Flash Fiction 55 is hosted by the G-man, a host with the most.
