A spontaneous riff off a six word story led three strangers from around the world to write this little piece.  I hope you enjoy meeting Nicole Bohnask & Gerry Hanna as much as I did

Our cold bed whispers your name
relentlessly reminding me of your absence
I turn to ice without you
the fire long since unwillingly extinguished
I mourn alone among dying embers
awaiting Death’s final welcome cold embrace
my arms still reaching for you.
