Fall Too Well

by Erin Branscom

I can’t help it that fictional characters are often better than real people.

Who knew good friendship and red lipstick could change a woman’s life?

“How do you tell someone that they’re stupid in a professional manner?” I ask, trying to lighten the mood and make her laugh. She bites her lip for a moment, then smiles. “Knowledge has always been chasing you, but you’ve always been faster.”

Sometimes we need to reshuffle the deck.

Talk is cheap, but actions are what matters.
