She had not heard from her friend in a long time. She had forgotten about her text message. She had deleted it, giving up on any response.
Then one evening, she felt her phone vibrate.
‘Hi.’
It was from him. It took her breath away. She collapsed on the sofa, her hands trembling, and stared at the screen. Could this be happening? Was a reconnection even possible? Dare she respond?
She took a leap and typed, ‘How are you?’
‘Good.’
‘I miss you so much.’
‘I am here.’
‘Where?’
‘Right beside you. All around you.’
‘Your funeral was beautiful.’
‘I know.’
Another hard-hitting surprise ending. Loved this one!
Oh, very nice reveal.
Thanks to all. I’m glad you like this story.
Fantastic read!
Great hook in and surprise ending. I wasn’t expecting that. Nice work.
