"Brennan counted the umbrellas around her in the chilly drizzle and came up with fourteen. She rolled that number around in her head, probed it, picked it up to look underneath it, and silently searched for its significance. Not that she believed in things like meaning or fate. At least not out loud. She had just turned fifteen, so perhaps there were fourteen umbrellas because the universe was reminding her that she was another year older, and that another year of life was gone away."
GOODNIGHT!
Like it!

ReplyDeleteMan Bean, I thought for sure you'd make fun of me for naming my main character "Brennan."
ReplyDeletei almost did :-P but in the short story i've been writing i used the name "Sydney" from the show ALIAS haha. would be a hypocrite!
ReplyDeleteI didn't know you were writing a short story! Can I read it when you're done? I'll let you read my book in exchange...
