VIOLA
I take a last look at what was my life in the big city. The house has been sold and stands all locked up in front of me. My business is dead and the ‘Sold’ sign on the front lawn stands boldly like a headstone and testament to its death. I was able to afford this house because of my business and having to sell it now represents the loss of everything that I built.
I smile thinly as I hand, Jenna, the agent, the keys to the property. I don’t want her to see my pain. I don’t think she’d understand and besides, I’m really just another client to her. Was another client, I correct myself. The house is sold. I have no more value to her unless I’m in the market for another house and I’m not. She knows it.
Nevertheless, she did a great job for me.
“This is for you,” I say as I hand her a small gift.
“Oh, you really shouldn’t have,” Jenna says smiling with genuine appreciation.
“You deserve it,” I smile.
“Thanks,” she says smiling back at me.
I shake her hand and greet her. Then I get in the car, start it and with a quick wave and empty smile, back out of the drive. I look at the house one last time as I drive away slowly making my way to the freeway.
It’s a long drive and I stop regularly to rest. When I need to sleep, I stop and park in public places where I know it’s safe. I sleep in the car to save my money and make it to my hometown in two days.
but then what do you expect? It’s not like people are rushing to
me and I wasn’t able to find work that
mother had left me after she passed away although I know anyone who had seriously wanted to sue me would have found it. I was grateful
A house in this small town wasn’t worth much. I was nevertheless grateful that I still had it and that it
left Los Angeles with a bit more money than I expected and the fact that my mother’s house is paid in full, gives me some room
from the car into the house and set them down in the bedroom before going through the house and opening all the windows
and I decide that I will finish the cleaning tomorrow. I
the products I want are still in the same locations on the shelves where they were so

straight. Her eyes are emerald green and her lips full and perfect. I

see you! I had no idea
We graduated in the same year. I never expected to find her here after all
steps forward and hugs me as if we are best
