Frozen


It had been a long time since I had thought about him, but today it was all about him. Every breath of mine smelt of him and his thoughts plagued my body and mind. We were inseparable five years ago, but now, we were tied to different people. I don't know why his thoughts refused to leave me today, as if soaking me and pulling me down to the past that I had pretended to have forgotten. 

In a split second, everything within me froze, my soul in particular, when I flipped the page and saw his face in the obituary list.

This five sentence fiction is written for the topic 'Frozen' at Lillie McFerrin Writes.
