Fifty Odd Words No. 30

I know you lied.

The engine shudders, lurches and chokes. It sounds dead. The heater loses breath; our tongues are dry and tingle with a metallic tang.

You said we were not coming here.

I can feel your body pressed against mine through swollen layers.

The edge of the ocean glitters in a brief show.

I’m sorry, you say.
