I started this blog to give myself the opportunity to practice writing. The goal was to write four stories a week. I have really enjoyed the creative outlet. Now, I have invited some friends to also contribute stories and artwork. The author is identified at the end of the piece. All (most) of the writing takes the phrase "once we were lovers" as inspiration. Critical feedback is welcome.

sweetheart

i was sitting on the table, you were sitting on the floor. we chatted with each other. we never felt bored.

the feelings dessicated. disappointment settled down. your words became nets. pauses our protests.

did we try to make things better? we didn't have the time. the world was out before us. we didn't have a child.

i helped you find another. we never said goodbye. if you have children, i know they'll be fine.
