Someday Maybe Novels & Stories

Something I might not be ready to face. ***

Tomorrow she comes. I’m not ready. I’m going to be ready anyway.

But right now all I feel is empty. We sit there until the wine's gone. Until Maya has to leave for work tomorrow. Until I'm alone again in my mediocre apartment with my mediocre life. I check my phone one more time before bed. Another message from that unknown number. **Unknown: Tomorrow will be better. Promise.** I don't believe them. But I save the number anyway.

"Let's hope that tomorrow would be just as great as today." TO BE CONTINUED...

Maybe, just maybe, this is the way it's meant to be. Maybe, just maybe, this is the way she'll reunite with her mother again.

Assuming we survive tomorrow night, that is. One impossible situation at a time.

Maybe if I see him Tommorow I might feel better. _________________________________________________

"That day in Switzerland was so cold that it finally let me let go of the past." "Zane was the one who helped me move on." "Let's just move forward. Nico, Arlo, Rhett." "We had a beautiful childhood. But from now on, I'm going the way I chose. The way I'm looking forward to." "And I hope—the Nico, Arlo, and Rhett from those childhood days—can wish me well."
