The Beginning After The End Ln Novels & Stories

A new day began in tranquility. The end.

It simply turns the page and begins a new chapter in the quiet after the storm. THE END.

Always us. THE END

I knew in that moment I was about to lose my dad. “Anastasia My love, keep our babies safe. I love you so much” Daddy says before he looks at me . “Sweetheart come here” I take the twins hands and we walk to our dad. “My beautiful babies, I love y’all so much. I’m so sorry I’m leaving you , remember I will always be with you here” he says and points to each of our hearts. “Sweetheart protect your mom and siblings, you are so strong and brave, they will need you” he says before he looks at mama again. He takes one more deep breath as his eyes start to flutter shut “I love you so-” he manages to get out before he stops breathing.

We exchanged a few more words, settled on a start date, and I hung up. Then I hailed a cab and went home. I pushed open the front door and went straight upstairs to pack. I was moving out. If I was going to end things, there was no point dragging it out. Packing did not take long. Looking down at the worn-out clothes and pants so faded they had turned white, it hit me just how lean these years had really been.

It was a beginning, not an ending. And perhaps that was enough.

The beginning of an ending. The room beginning to look like what comes after.
