André San Miguel

Submitted to Contest #292

Two old men stood next to each other, staring at the same wall, which only had a painting hanging on it. ‘So what is this supposed to mean?’ Asked the first man while stroking his mustache. The other man took a better look at it; it was a painting full of colored circles and lines along a white background, where in the middle, a black silhouette of a woman could be seen raising both her arms.

André San Miguel

Submitted to Contest #290

Hello there. May this letter find someone someday.I am not sure I will have another chance again to write.It is me Ania, I am 32 years old and time went quite fast I must admit. I was never a talkative person, I think I am putting more words out in this letter than I did in my entire life.

Thanksgiving

André San Miguel

“Hey Joe, it’s me Mike. So do I still bring the wine for next week?” “Sure” Joe had paused while staring at the naked white wall in his living room with his phone “Will be great to see you again.”“All right great… Listen I just had to ask you know. I didn’t want to bring this back up, I feel things have changed since your father… you know” Mike said while struggling to find words to fill in the awkward silence “Would be weird to bring wine without asking, didn’t want to look I’m celebrating his departure”“No no, it’s fine” , Joe said w...
