Losing Mikey
Going down by n0nick on Flickr – Photo Sharing! Death came out of nowhere, grief arcing across a bright blue autumn sky.Your mother rocks in her chair, empty-armed, shattered.Your father tightens doorknobs, oils hinges, mends tools, fixes every broken thing he can find.It’s like watching a stunt plane in a spiraling dive, bracing for a crash.I steal the faucet washers. ~Nara Malone This post was written for G-Man’s Friday Flash 55.
