Dash

by Shantel Tessier

“I choose you, Tabatha. You’re better than any dream I have ever had. Because you are real. You’re right here in front of me.”

‘promise’ is just a word spoken to prevent the inevitable that no one wants to see coming. I promise I love you. I promise you’re my everything. I promise not to hurt you. Do you see a pattern? Promise makes you think that you have a chance. A candy-coated word to sweeten the pot.

Dash, I understand what you have to do. I hope you understand what I have to do. Tabatha

Growing up, my father always told me that we have choices in life that will make you weak or make you stronger.
