Missing Old Friends

Good writing is about a lot of things. I met Kevin in seventh grade. He was (is) a brilliant writer. I don't use that term lightly. We were in same situation, new to the middle school, except that he was certain he was going to leave the next year amd i was certain i was going to stay. We quickly became friends over our his whimsical and sarcastic humor. I always knew, someday i would pick up a book with his name on the cover, but more importantly he knew it too. I found his story on the web.

The Subtle Hint
Micro story by Kevin Kosbab


'Oh, come on, let's just buy it,' she begs, thrusting towards him the bridal magazine she is browsing.

'No, let's not,' he says.

'Don't be silly; it'll be fun! It's just a magazine.'

She lingers on a spread of meringue-like dresses.

'No, really,' he says. 'Let's not.'
