paper airplane


he finished the poem


he sat back

reading it one more time


"the best

I have ever written,"


he said aloud


he went to the

Works

section of his

Wattpad account


he hesitated


the cursor over

'new part'


he hesitated


he minimized the screen

and read the poem

one more time


it was the best

he had ever written


he went to the menu

and

printed the poem


he held the paper

in his hand

and read it


one


last


time


quickly

he made a

paper airplane

from

the poem


he walked to the

window


opened it

and

tossed

the paper airplane

containing


...the best poem he had ever written...


out the window

of his

15th story apartment


he watched as it

flew downward

eventually

disappearing


he closed the window


"at least this way

someone

might actually read it"
