Somewhere in Ireland
"Dublin is beautiful this time of year,"
Sarah told him before she left to
start her new life. Adam read the letter
waiting for the news of her leaving him to
sink in. He noticed Sarah's favorite
book on the counter, "A Wrinkle
in Time." Confused, he knocked over
the toaster and his jacket fell to the floor.
Trying to forget, he relaxed as
"Dead Souls" played in the background. Adam
thought to himself as he ate warm spinach, "Dead Souls,
I like the sound of that." He tore the
letter, picked up the jacket and
went for a walk.
