February 11, 2015: Under normal
circumstances he would speak his mind, but, with a gun against his head
Under normal circumstances he would speak his
mind, but, with a gun against his head, he didn’t dare. In fact, careless
tossing of words around may be what put him in this dire circumstance to begin
with. Joshua was realizing one day too late, that maybe he should learn to keep
his mouth shut. Nothing short of a gun to his head would’ve taught him that
lesson anyway, so all in all, the events of this afternoon were likely
inevitable. Too bad, it would’ve been the perfect day for a wedding. “Tosha
will never forgive me” were his final thoughts.
February 18, 2015: The old photos
made her conscious of her age, of how much time had passed
She hadn’t looked at these albums for
years. The old photos made her conscious of her age, of how much time had
passed. As she turned the page, an old photo dropped out. She picked it up and
looked back at the face in the picture. She had forgotten that he had even
existed. All that had happened seemed to belong to another life. Another person.
As the memories began to surface she dropped the photo between the pages, and
closed the book. She would simply refuse to remember. It was not worth
remembering. She put the book on the shelf.
