A desk is the only thing between them.
His signature is still fresh
Hers, smudged by a tearstain.

  1. The first line nicely establishes the couple's relationship, and the difference in their signatures was an effective way to show the reader how they feel about the split. We had very similar ideas!

  2. This was really well done. I have read it through several times now and my mind lingers on a different word or line each time.

  4. I really enjoyed this piece - it's so vivid and you convey so many emotions through the objects that are present or absent
