I’ve been invisible for 276 days. I’m not sure how it happened. It’s not as amusing as it sounds. The novelty wears off, and when it does, the loneliness sets in.
I slice through the crowds on the busy city sidewalk, not even bothering to avoid the occasional collision with passersby. I know it’s rude, but they won’t know that; they can’t see me.
But when I bump into him, he stares at me. When his eyes lock on mine, old habits take over. “Sorry,” I mumble.
His eyes widen and he says exactly what I’m thinking: “Can you see me?”
Love the ending. I didn’t see it coming.
Thank you! I’m glad you liked it!
A good story of characters stuck in purgatory
I love this interpretation! Thanks for reading!
Great story!
A gem of a 101!
Shivery. Fey. Great.
Great story. I love the twist at the end!
Not purgatory! They’re soulmates, who glimpse each other’s souls in a clueless crowd. Jerry
Wonderful twist ending. Caught me completely by surprise. Excellent job!
Finally!
I got chills at the end, great job Rachel!
Not just clever – splendid story.
