Life is a Lesson

Nicole Evert

Submitted to Contest #150

“Please, don’t do it! I can fix it – we can work through this!” She was in a state, failing to hold back tears that slowly poured down her face, her mouth folded downwards, openly spilling out words of sorrow and forgiveness – a little spit dripping out as well. She held her hands out, reaching, but couldn’t grasp him, his foot on her chest, keeping her fixed in that position.
