Friends envied their holidays.
“Where are you going next?” featured in most conversations.
“Don’t know, we’ll see,” their stock reply.
Susan reflected on this as she held Jim’s hand. This time it was
a short break in Milan.
Jim’s hand was icy cold; the ventilator whooshed.
They switched it off.
I'd like to say I like this Mari. At one level I do. But at another level its too poignant, and for many, too close to home. It's beautifully done though.
