Hi everyone,
This (very) short story is a submission to a contest ran by @fabianmani. The idea was the create a story of maximum 100 words following the theme of the title. I used the contest as an exercise for writing in deep Pov. Thanks to @anikekirsten and @bex-dk help me with the editing proces.

“Babe… I.. I don’t mean to… I didn’t want to… Please, believe me.” His pupils widen. His mouth opens slightly as if he wants to continue, but he stays quiet. Does he realize it’s over? A sign of repentance, perhaps?
It doesn’t matter. I blink.
“Goodbye, Tom.”
I hope you enjoyed! Let me know what you thought about it in the comments.
Thanks for reading.
See you next time.
