Severancing

He sat at his desk, looking at an accumulation of letters.

They were all from her. He didn’t want them; not any of them. He wanted them all gone, completely gone, and no longer part of his life. He had thought of simply burning them, but he felt this wouldn’t be enough. He needed to come up with something more significant, more dramatic. It needed to be an irrefutable statement. The one thing he knew, was that neither time nor money would play any part in how his act of severance played out. He slowly gathered them all up into a neat pile. This gave him an idea of the volume he had to deal with. Putting an elastic band around the stack, he sat back, thinking about it, formulating a plan.

The following day he went out and purchased a small combination wall safe. It was the type that could be cemented into a wall, after removing a couple of bricks. The following purchase was a little more time-consuming to accomplish. Eventually, he tracked down a hardware store that could sell him a thirty-millimetre diameter, Titanium Tungsten Carbide tipped drill bit.

Next, as the holder of a private pilot licence, he arranged a date when he could rent a small plane for the day. The rest, he could do at home. First, tipping the safe on its side, he drilled a hole through the middle of its side wall. He then removes any swarf left inside. Then, he placed the bundle of letters inside and closed the door. Paying close attention to what the instructions explained., he had it set up that when he span the dial back and forth a few times, it couldn’t be opened, by anyone, including himself. Finally, he was content to simply shred all of the paperwork that indicated that he had ever owned it.

At the relatively small airport, after completing the necessary paperwork and receiving any last-minute information regarding weather conditions he, with his plain, plastic carrier back, climbed into the aircraft. Once in, he removed the safe from the bag and placed it on his lap. He took off, with his destination being a point in the western Pacific Ocean, immediately above the Mariana Trench, it being the deepest oceanic trench to be found on the planet.

As the plane flew low, following the shape of the channel, he opened the cockpits side window and hefted it out. Banking the plane, he watched the tiny splash. Then, smiling and nodding, he turned for home.
