REMEMBER ME (a 55-word story)
She reread his last letter from the War Front:
“If I don’t return,
remarry,
live for both of us.
Don’t cry for me.
I’ll be somewhere beyond pain and fear.
And I’ll be near.
Remember me.”
A man was crossing a field towards her.
No one walked like Aldo.
Even the earth welcomed his steps.
