Victoria knew it was the end before he even said the words.

Before he could voice it — don’t say it, don’t say it — she stepped forward and kissed him impulsively. At first, he seemed surprised, shaken by her fervor. But the shock didn’t last for long.

When she broke from the kiss, she smiled up at him. “Don’t be a stranger,” she said.

He smiled in that secretive way of his.

His body began to turn into wisps of smoke as sunlight broke through the smog of the city.

Then she woke up.

A dream.

But the tears were real.

This is a part of my endeavor to go back to writing tighter fiction with more stringent word counts. It’s just one attempt at the 100 Story Challenge because I thought it would be a good exercise to do to keep my imagination sharp. We’ll see how it goes.
