55 Flash Fiction Friday - Test Results - 3/26/09
The doctor gave him the results, casually, as if he had done it many times before. Perhaps he had. What remained of his stomach tumbled and he suddenly retasted his breakfast. A second opinion? This was the third opinion. They didn’t necessarily agree on the unpronounceable name, but they were unanimous as to the prognosis.
Oh this is heartbreaking! I just thought I was going through this with Diego. Good one. Love ya. Carly
ReplyDeleteThe results were for the dog and not the man, right? love ya Carly

Carly and G-Man:

So sad....what a loss it will be. Losing a friend is so very hard.
ReplyDeleteNot even knowing the specifics, this made my heart ache.
ReplyDeleteWell written!
The picture adds so much.
ReplyDeleteThis is my first time writing a 55 and reading some of the others.
ReplyDeleteSo much story you put in so few words.
Can't say who's comforting whom, but either way, one of them is losing a best friend.
ReplyDeleteVery touching, and cleverly written.
That brings back bad memories. :(
ReplyDeleteYour words say it all.
No! That's what I want to scream. I do hope this was truly fiction.
