Breakup Letter

Story: Breakup Letter
Year: 991 FY
Characters: Lonura


It
feels like
the world is
ending. All she can
do is stare, stare at the letter,
feeling her hopes die, one by one, her future is in
pieces, everything she's hoped for,
everything she's won
will be for
someone
else.

Why?
All she
can do is
ask herself why it
had to end like this, a letter
from practically the other side of the world, to say
"I'm getting married," and say "I'm
sorry," and after
five years, no
more, no
tact,

no
grief, that
this must end.
None, at least, that she
can see, reading between the lines
as best she can. But maybe it'll be different, when
face-to-face, if she gets a real
explanation, the
reason, a
real good-
bye.
