Saturday's Storyteller: Nameless

Image
Nameless by Belinda Roddie I don't have a name by choice. None truly fit me. Not even Nemo feels appropriate. Don't call me anything. Don't address me. I am not here. I'm at a bar, drinking tequila, and pretending the world isn't on fire. This week's prompt was provided by a video call with friends.

The Fifth Of August by Belinda Roddie The fifth of August was Sam's funeral, and Lisa was there, dressed fully in black, watching as the coffin, stiffened white pall and all, descended far beyond the stack of dirt and settled into endless dust. Sam had been thirty-three, too young to throw away her mortal coil, as Shakespeare must have said (or was it shuffled? I don't know, thought Lisa, and frankly, I just don't care). All she could think of was her lover's smile and blue eyes before dimming in despair, sunken above skeletal cheekbones, tile in color. August sixth was no better, and Lisa's drinking would not be deterred.
