Dohoon Kim: Tension Bentwood Chair
It was 7:30 in the morning. I was sitting at the computer
checking Facebook. Normally I would be asleep at this time but I had worked an
overnight, so I couldn’t get away.
You could cut the tension with I knife. I felt a pit in my
stomach, my face turned flush. I wanted to escape, but I couldn’t, I had to
face the truth…..Everything was about to end and there was no way around
it. Even though he continued to act like
nothing was wrong, he knew it too.
The problem was, my throat couldn’t catch up to my mind, and
my lips couldn’t catch up to my heart. I fled to avoidance one last time. I
kissed him goodbye and he was off to work.
