      I had left my passport at an inn we stayed at for a night or so whose name I couldn’t remember. This is how it began. The next hotel would not receive me. A beautiful hotel, in an orange grove, with a view of the sea. How casually you accepted the ro

      It is August of the year 2000, and I am cold. I know the sun is shining outside, but there are no windows in the courtroom. The lighting is subdued, darker in the back where spectators sit and lighter in the front where tragedies play out—like a the

      I walked down the road with a hunched back and a wet cigarette in my mouth—the fire had died a while back. My hands were tucked into the pockets of my jacket, and my hair fell over my face, limiting my sight. But I wasn’t really seeing where I was go

      I met him at the shore.

      His eyes were crystal blue, but distant in their gaze.

      He had been an old friend, but our friendship sadly couldn't last.

      Not after that devastating event that had split us apart.

      Paul, I said to him quietly, spotting him walking towards me from the sandy shore and he froze stiff at the sight of me.

      I couldn't blame him, I would've too.

      He looked at me in silence, his body quaking and I just asked in a quiet whisper, What are you doing here?

      He let out a little murmur of a word, something I couldn't distinguish very well and just turned his eyes to the ground.

      The wind from the sea blew past us gently and finally, he responded.

      I can't believe it's you, Johnathon.

      Well believe it, I replied, and gulped a little nervously. I placed my hands in my pocket and swayed a little on my legs, After all, seeing is believing.

      Don't even mention that to me, he spoke back, briskly, and I blinked my eyes, confused.

      How's it been since that... day? I asked just then and he turned his gaze quickly away.

      He stared at the sand, how the waves swept up the beach gently and his eyes just watched the water push up the shore, my own gaze following the tide as well.

      We both stood there, silently, before he muttered in pain.

      It's been good... or at least, as good as it could be.

      I'm sorry for mentioning it-

      Johnathon. He said weakly, looking at me with quiet pained eyes, What are you doing here... on this beach?

      I trembled a little at that response. I didn't know how to reply exactly. I was afraid to get my words out, though finally, I uttered, I had to see.

      He stared at me quietly, his breath becoming quaky and uneasy in its breathing.

      I had to see if she was still here...

      Me too, he responded, silently. His words were stiff and formal, but what we were talking about was anything but.

      You may be thinking that the woman we were talking about was an old friend. But you'd be wrong.

      She was the one that tore us apart.

      That night...

      It was at a bar, six months ago. I had waited there for my old friend to show up. We had decided to meet up at a place near the sea, as both of us were to be heading our own separate ways back to our homes.

      We had been
