She takes hot showers despite the humidity. On the fogged mirror, her finger writes messages to him. When she opens the window, the vapor mingles with the air outside, like their intertwined bodies on clandestine nights, ages ago.
The messages on the mirror slowly disappear, like he did.
I loved this. The ephemeral-ness of it.
Iām thrilled you liked it. Thank you, Jan!
I love the way you tell so much in such few words and always leave me wondering what will happen next! š
Thank you so much for reading, Sue! I’m sorry I haven’t caught up with the latest on your blog. Just got busy with life š Hope you’re doing well.
Life gets us like that from time to time. I’m really well thank you Hema, hope all is well with you. I’m trying to remember where you moved to, was it Japan? Are you still there?
Everythingās good! We moved to Singapore and Iām slowly finding my sea legs here š
This was just beautiful and bittersweet, Hema! You showed so much with so little, as immaculately as always!
Thanks, Mel! And thanks for giving me a good laugh with your micro š
A full story in few words. Awesome š
Thank you so much, Srivalli!
Absolutely beautiful imagination. Love this!
Thank you so much! Yours was one of my favorite micros this week.
That’s so nice to hear. And yours is one of my favourites too!
Great take on the prompt!
Thanks, Anusha!
This is beautiful. The present-tense amplifies the ephemeral qualities of the message and their relationship. I also like how the message remains secret, like their relationship was.
Thank you, Laura!I’m glad the “secret” bit came through. I had this whole long winded thing about her real life outside the bathroom. Too much to fit into 48 words š
This is such a great visual image. Well done!
Thanks for reading, Margaret!
Brilliantly crafted! š
Thank you!
