Stream of Thought

E.R. Lobby

“I am going to kill myself when I get home,” said the lady next to me quietly on the phone.

And while I tried to nestle sideways, cramped on the waiting room couch, that inner voice of mine said, ” What if..what of this…what if…?”

Thusly, once space cleared a little more, I gathered courage, sat down in front of her unassuming, and asked, “So is it true what you said? Are you really going to kill yourself?”

Thus occurred the beginning of a new friendship.
