Downpour

They just stood there looking out at the rain falling heavily.

It was the sudden downpour that drew their attention. Neither of them spoke, they rarely did anymore. It was just an awkward silence, like so many of them that they now shared. Physical avoidance became the norm. Each of them treasuring the times when their personal space was entirely theirs. A general lack of eye contact had long since been part of their daily lives. Of course, there were times when words were necessary. When it happened, it was painful and laborious for both of them. Each was weighed down by the other’s presence. For each of them an obligatory cohabitation had long been in place, as some kind of tacit agreement that neither could remember having agreed to.

The rain began to ease and their brief moments of togetherness came to an end,

Independently, they had each asked themselves what they could have been thinking when they had decided to get married.

Neither had the answer.

  4. Today, while I was at work, my cousin stole my iPad and tested to see if it can survive a 40 foot drop, just so she can be a youtube sensation. My apple ipad is now destroyed and she has 83 views. I know this is completely off topic but I had to share it with someone!
