Dear John

And for today’s micro-story in response to the #vss365 prompt – “Alien” is a Dear John letter.

Dear John,

I found an alien in the kitchen today. Us.

Soon we will be in bed. You will kiss my forehead and turn away, to your phone.

I will pretend to read, but really look at your graying head until I fall asleep.

The alien needs to go. He isn’t home.

We aren’t a home.
