Thoughts

What is needed to make an impression? Thoughts to follow soon. And now, an excerpt from the short story entitled "Conversations After Dark":

It had been two weeks since I had last seen Johnny. He shipped out before I had a chance to say goodbye, so the I found myself apologizing to a phantom.

"Sorry, for that baby, I should have never doubted you. I was drunk, and I didn't mean it. Godspeed and good luck. No, I don't want anything. Just come back home. Baby, please..."

And then two weeks after that, I realized my pleas had fallen on deaf ears. Once again, I am left all alone in the world without sunshine on the horizon.
