What a cozy first home for a woman Neriah’s age! The more she envisions, the more she decorates! She’s excited to start this new chapter in her life! Closing the door on yesterday; leaving the past behind. One thing stands out, though it was long ago. How her once best friend could hurt so? She’s prayed about it and has since forgiven him. Still; it shows up time and again. It’s not like she has never been hurt before. To hear hurtful words from someone she once loved? That’s not what friends are for. As she continues to settle in her phone begins to ring; she sees its mom and hopes her couch is finally in! “Mom!” “Is it in?” “Is it all set for pick up?” “No Neriah, that’s not what this is about.” “What is it mom?” “Everything okay?” “Neriah dear, there’s someone here to talk to you.” “He says he has much to say.” Neriah can’t imagine who or what as her heart is beating fast. “Hello Neriah.” She knows that voice anywhere. “Neas.” Will Neriah be able to talk with Neas after all he has done? If you’re even the least bit interested , come back for the next one.!

She probably will, this series is an enjoyable read, thank you
Thank you
You are very welcome
I have to beg your utmost pardon Shamrocker. I have read your work before but it never struck me like today where your talent lies. Like music there are the notes with pitch and rhythm. I've heard your pitch before and in the rhyme and story of its melody commented but just today became aware of the beat and rhythm in your flow and it with the internal rhyme is a different music for the ear. Sorry I have missed it all this time, not your loss mine. You can bet I'll be looking for it in the future all music and poems need a beat. Your's is remarkable
I appreciate this very much. Thank you
You started me off on a - maybe occasional - short story format, as you've posted here!
It is. Probably the shortest one
