Not Sure (Flash Fiction 55)
Parallel footprints track the smooth, sungolden morning sand.
“God, when’s the last time I saw you?”
“Probably when I graduated college. You and Aunt Beatrice flew to Chicago and gave me that Austrian beer stein.”
“Well… What are you going to do? It’s been two years…”
“Don’t know… Not sure if I ever will again.”

That Beatrice, driving poor Dante Allegheri to distraction and keeping Dante Gabriel Rossetti up nights painting her as Elizabeth Siddons poses and tries not to fidget. Who knew she was your aunt?!? 😉
