No suspense here
I'm going to tell you straight away what's going to happen to them. No twist at the end of the tale. Sixty three years from now, she'll succumb to pneumonia. Three months later, he will pass away in his sleep. Presumably from grief. But for now, they are looking at each other. He is wondering what a girl like her is doing in a place like this. And she is thinking what a guy like him is doing looking at a girl like her in a place like this.

Reminded me of Eric segal's Love story..he starts the book with this line...
"What can you say about the twenty three year old girl that died"...giving the suspense away in the first line...
Good one ammani !

refreshing tales after a long break.
I had recently read a comment to the question "what is needed to make a good writer" as "resist telling all" ...this probably is one of the best example of what was meant
:)
this is beautiful.
understatement is such a high art in my book.
a feeling of incompletion....if it haunts, it haunts forever....sad...
Beautiful...
