THE LAST PROMISE
Posted on September 28th, 2004 by Sacha Chua
"I'll love you forever." He pressed her fingers to his tear-stained cheeks.
She pulled her hands away. "No more promises. That way, you can't break them." She left without looking back.
Two years later, he saw her obituary in the newspaper. Only the moon knows the vow he made, the first since they parted. To see her one last time, perhaps? He never made it, dying in the flood that rose that night.
They say you can sometimes still see him struggling through the mists, bound by his last promise.
