A Unique Hello

Polishing off the last morsel of cherry cheesecake before setting the plate aside, she sat at her desk and began a new story. After numerous rewrites and false starts she finally extended past the first sentence. Her tale was a short story of writing a story about a unique hello and an old friend. She paused to watch a few minutes of TV before returning to now the half-full text box. She chuckled to herself as she thought about how the box could also be half-empty depending on how you look at it. She recalled memories of a great time she had long ago in a city far, far away. She checked her character count…410 left she thought. She focused her attention on the real message she wanted to deliver. Then she began. “Duckn, it’s been forever since I’ve heard from you. I hope you are doing well. I knew you liked my stories so I thought I’d write one for you. Just wanted to let you know that I thought about you. Take care!” With that she looked over what she had typed and with satisfied grin she clicked “Publish”
