Foreword

February 22nd, 2008


The rain drizzled down, slowly but surely. Dampened and depressed, I willed something big to happen. Lost in my thoughts, a young man bumped into me.
“I’m sorry,” he stuttered.
“That’s ok. “
He hesitated before asking, “Excuse me, do you happen to know the date?”
I checked my watch.
“It’s the 22nd.”
“Thank you.”
I met his eyes and he held my gaze.
“Have we met before?” he asked tentatively.
“No, sorry,” I answered, my eyes never leaving his.
We walked and talked, unbothered by the rain. And as if God had heard my cry, something big happened to me that day.

My first one shot ><

 

I was inspired by reading Anterograde Tomorrow (although nowhere near as good)

 

Please give me constructive criticism ^^
