Together

The two men had always had a strange relationship.

They had always enjoyed their time together. The main feature of their friendship being that neither had ever made any other living soul aware of the fact that they actually knew each other. One would normally think that this would be extremely difficult, but in fact they had managed it for some considerable time.

They were both around the same age and quite similar in looks, with the only noticeable difference being their heights. The day that this singular state of affairs came to a breaking point, was when the taller man put a question to the other that brought about several, long minutes of silence. Finally the reply came.

Tall: “Oh! I don’t know. You must have had doubts.”

Short: “No, like I said, why should I?”

Tall: “Surely, you must have wondered.”
