SIX SENTENCE SUNDAY

SIX SENTENCE SUNDAY

This week's six is from Masquerade: Behind the Mask.  Gabe has just received a letter from Mike, his partner.....


He'd taken a few, deep steadying breaths and leaned back in his chair, his gaze firmly fixed on the first word as though he'd never seen his own name before. Mike had written his name a million, hell, a trillion times in the last four years. His lips had lifted as he'd remembered the myriad of random Post-it notes Mike had left him around the house through the years. Some important, like pick up the dry-cleaning, but most had been even more important, simply three little words hastily scribbled. The main reason he'd hesitated for so long before reading? Oh, just the little fact that Mike had been dead since the beginning of August and letters from the grave were not exactly expected.
