  A road sign gave us the information, pulling over would be important. “The oldest tree in Oregon.” I wanted to keep driving, two more hours and we’d be in Portland by six. You wanted nature. The path was lined with ferns, shuffling was necessary to not stumble on roots. As I walked I slapped my keys on my thighs. Your footsteps ended. I took a deep breath, ready to turn back. However, I became entangled by your gaze. I followed your line of sight to the tree, the massive trunk. Branches thinker than our bodies twisted upward and vanished into the thick green canopy. I squeezed the car keys. For a moment I imagined they were seeds; I imagined planting them, if only to leave something.

  Arms Outstretched
  by felinemind

  — This is an entry into the Flash Fiction – Back of An Envelope Challenge — THE TEXT READS The trees are waving wildly to me through the windows as the wind picks up; wind that will reach gale force strength. It is bringing the dark clouds from the horizon closer, closer to the balcony and me. If I go outside and stand on the balcony, arms outstretched, how will the wind welcome me? Will it sweep me off my feet to the ground below? The pain of the sudden stop at the end couldn’t match the pain you’ve left me with. The way you walked away from me and into his arms. The glass door is rattling. I’ll close it from the outside. — N.B. The feature logo was prepared by myself but inspired by a design originally done by Natalie Perkins —
