“The Message”

Written by Susan Eileen Jizba

.

Her hopes were sinking.

She had only known Gawain briefly.

But it felt like centuries.

And now he was gone.

There was always something strange about him.

But that’s what intrigued her. 

Obsessed her. 

She left another message on his line. 

“Where are you?” she always asked.

After the single solitary beep.

Days later a new message was recorded on his machine. 

“Where are you? Where are you? Where are you?” it said, as he echoed her own words in his raspy voice.

“I’m gone. Soon you will be too,” he added,

Just before the line,

Went dead.
