And So Is Death

via Daily Prompt: Abrupt

I was abrupt today.

I hate that word. It means I didn’t take the time. And I didn’t. I know it, and she felt it. I could see the hurt dim her lovely smile.

It was just a moment. Over our coffee. She said, and I answered – too anxious to get back to my interests.

But I didn’t think – life is abrupt, and so is death.

But she isn’t.

Food for thought.
