Heart thundering, tears eroding the faith that I had held. The stark black and white of the print denied that it was anything but the truth. The irreconcilable truth. These few, brief, haunting words changed my life forever. The world stopped and plunged into darkness. A stark reminder that what we have is fragile.
In only a few sentences you paint pain and despair. Well written.
Excellent! My only suggestion is to start the very first sentence with “My” because it just felt like it was needed. — Just my humble opinion.
You are probably right. I started out writing something else and it morphed into this. I am pretty poor at proof reading because I tend to over correct.
Amazing writing!
Wow! A very powerful piece, may asked what made you write it this way, without revealing any of the content of the letter?
I originally started writing it as poetry, but it just morphed into prose, I guess I enjoyed the mystery element and the fact that the letter could be whatever the reader wanted it to be.
Interesting indeed! Thank you for sharing.
