We were all gathered around the table; with name tags containing our pennames. What a large table it was. I sat beside people I had kept in contact on ficlets with for years, but never really met in person before. I also sat by my friends from school that I introduced to this wonderful site. We all ate, chatting about the great times and stories from ficlets, then everyone became silent as THX 0477 stood up. “I know most of us have never met, but I think of you all as my family in a way. This has been great, and let us keep ficlets and our fellow ficleteers in our hearts always.” He said, tears starting to streak his cheeks, then rising his glass. We all did the same. Such a short speech, but it contained so much meaning. I too started crying. Scene_Sierra looked at me and smiled. “Come on you big baby, don’t you start getting all emotionie on me, You’re my ride home!” She teased. I laughed and hugged her. After mingleing a while, it was time for me to leave. goodbye ficlets.com, We’ll miss you.
