They were not in love. Love had silently left long ago. Today, both just wanted out after 30 years. Both were old and broken: He was partially paralyzed after a stroke and she had just undergone spinal surgery and couldn’t really walk; constant pain. Despite everything, they were sure: 30 years were enough. They would hire movers and leave. She would move in with a daughter and he would get a small apartment in the same building, hire more help. He would save money once the divorce was final. He would be happier eating in peace and watching TV without interruption.
Impressive, although so sad.
Thanks for reading and commenting, Bruno. Yes, I wanted to bring out the sadness and the surrealness of life. Have a good day!
