Flash Fiction #3 – The Bookmark

CONTENT WARNING: Suicide

 

Marina: I hope you 

find my note. You 

once said the book 

 Forever is your 

favorite and you 

read it twice a year.  

What you forgot to

 mention was that 

you have two books

by that title. Pete 

Hamill’s has 

earmarks, hope I 

picked right. Sorry 

for the bunny 

bookmark. Knew you 

wouldn’t get the life 

insurance if they 

found this. But I 

also couldn’t leave 

you thinking I 

slipped off a cliff; 

I’m a damn good 

climber. 

Cancer’s hard. 

Decided this way 

was better for both 

of us. 

Love you forever, 

Alvin
