Wow! I love how you take a moment that someone else might just blow off as "a senior moment" or "a brain fart" and use it as a jumping-off place for this lovely philosophical musing. This is so thought-provoking. And I love how you've used just the words you need to tell the story, and that it's very much shown and not told - it's so engaging in your skillful hands.

Wow, this means a lot, and I really needed it this morning. Thanks.

You're welcome, and you earned it!

Whatever it was, they way you describe it now is very comical. Poor Mike, whoever he was :)

Thanks. I'm glad you enjoyed it. :)

He was a good friend I sometimes thought might have become more than that. It was a long-distance friendship, and he worked until midnight, so we always talked late at night. This particular night, though, I had fallen asleep before his call.

The whole thing passed so quickly, he shrugged it off fine. :)

It sounds lovely -- very pleasant. ^_^

I love how the short sentences match up so well with your bewilderment, and then transition so beautifully to longer paragraphs that move from the event to a wider application. :)

It really was.

Thanks!

I think this would freak me out! I am glad it wasn't a scary moment to you!

It might have been if I hadn't been so curious about it.

Thanks for reading!
