A Story In 100 Words (Online) March 2022
Just before he’s seventy, just before 7:00 AM he
finds Shadowfax Marie at the 6068 Spa, lets her drift him into his morning
pages, levitate him, lets her let him forget everything, dismiss all of his
desires–even his morning coffee, even his Beloved (still in bed, dreaming he’s
still there, sleeping, beside her).
But his wings are only borrowed and
insubstantial. Before he can float away, he remembers his flesh, recalls his
agenda, and realizes that there’s a day ahead during which Shadowfax Marie will
inevitably fade; a day filled with no sound worth hearing, no vision worth
sharing.
