Dead SilenceA Story by Katerina GrevShort story about the sadness of lovers turned to strangers.
There was dead silence in the air. My girlfriend and I were looking around the room as if a conversation starter that would kill the silence was hiding in a corner. The silence still pains me. I remember a time when the silence didn't exist and everything came naturally and flowed easily and things were okay. They say time heals all wounds but they don't talk about the ones it creates.
"How's your mom been by the way?" I ask awkwardly. "She's been okay." Her response felt like a butter knife going through my heart, slow and painful. There was a time I didn't even have to ask that question because her family adored us and I saw them often. There was a time when the answer wasn't generic and short to avoid any further conversations. Sitting there, trying to make small talk with someone I used to love was the most torturous experience of my life. © 2017 Katerina GrevAuthor's Note
