Drabble Theatre: Like mist between my fingers

*TRRRRRRIIIIIIIINNNNGGGG*

My hand swung out to shut up the alarm clock.

I could still feel the wind on my skin, smell the scents of the forest, taste his lips on mine. I kept my eyes clenched shut in order to retain those precious memories for just a few moments longer, but before I knew it the lingering feeling had escaped like mist between my fingers.

Slowly I lifted my hands up to my chest, already certain of the disappointment that was awaiting me. A single tear fell from my cheek as my cupped hands rested upon my flat chest.

Damnit.

It is such a good little story, though very sad at the end.

They're either too fast, too slow or insensitive. No wonder they break so often - with a little help.

Neat little first BCTS entry. There are drabbles that manage to be a bit clever (CARS indeed!), but what impresses me are the ones like this, that can evoke an emotional reaction in so few words. Encore!
