A Word of Fixed

Just a short story

A Word Of Fixed

A word to say, to describe how I feel is nonexistent.  It somehow refuses to come about.  Now here I lay in the middle of a snow covered road.  In an abandoned land.  Nothing is here, nowhere to be seen.  All is white sky.  My brain won’t process how alone I’ve become.  How distant I am, how selfish I’ve been.  I can’t fix the broken, I can’t.

“Are you lost?”

A soft voice passes my ears.  I can’t see, I refuse.  

“Are you lost?”

Once again.  A little girl’s attempt to help a lost soul.

“No.  I am not lost, just a little broken.”

To her reply, quite a clever one.

“I can fix you?”  She mutters.

“You can’t fix the unfixable.”

“Not with that attitude.”  My mind is amazed.  I see the innocent in her still eyes.

“Is that so?  Well, my way of things seem a little off.”  As I say my last words, she reaches for my hand and struggles to pull me up.  I decide to give in and push myself up.  To my surprise she’s still holding my hand.

“You got a hole in your chest.”  She puts her left hand and her chest.

“I know.”

This is so sweet and beautiful, almost ethereal. Really nice concept.

This is very beautiful, but no strightforward meaning to it. Can be a good thing, gives the reader the chance to think for themselfs. Overall, this was very good and It reminds me of when people are deeply hurt and feel broken inside out.

Wow, this is beautiful. I am unsure of the meaning, but for me its rings of the hole my brother left when he passed, but the unimaginable love I received a few months later when my son was born. My son did not heal me of the wound of my brother, but nor is the hole gaping these days. This is beautiful.
