35 Years

35 years. That’s how long I’ve lasted. After all the countless-well, you get it, all those close calls with certain death and the mumbo jumbo about my “expiration date,” life sorta died down for me. I’m not the hopelessly romantic type, but I couldn’t help the small twangs in my chest at the thought of seeing Fang again. If you haven’t already been filled in on my history with Fang, well, too bad. All I’ll tell you is he left the night of Total and Akila’s wedding, with only a note left. Now it wasn’t one of those crabby one paragraph sob notes about why he had to leave and all, but it was just so much deeper, to sum it up.
