Bridge

It was a bridge to everything, and no one could see it but me. I was unlocked. Hell, the game changed, once I saw myself the way my teacher saw me. It’s like I didn’t have glasses for sixteen years, but needed them. The prescription is filled, and the world cracked open. It’s nectar. It’s stairways. It’s cold, cold, open air. I didn’t know everything I needed, I already had. Now I know.

What Was So Wrong With Me Now?

What Was So Wrong With Me Now? (a Short Story Contest entry by Shelly Rzewuski)

 

Once I remember my father saying how he missed me as a little kid. I had felt insulted. Now, I often think back to this comment. I love my much younger sisters, now in their twenties, but I too miss the joy we shared when they were toddlers. All lasting, meaningful relationships evolve into something deeper. But the feeling I didn't understand then is where the magic happened. I miss it too, Dad.
