SPACE (5-minute Freewrite)

a 5-minute Freewrite by A.E. Jackson

A vast amount of space stretched between his desk and the Moon. The distance was hollow and cold. Without thought or emotion. It persisted like the ocean of his planet. And vanished like the sights of his imagination. The space was there and was not, at one instant and forever.

Which made the email he received so hard to fathom and accept. She was dumping him. And he could do nothing to make her stop. In fact, she had completed the draft and hit send over six hours ago. Once the transmission was added to the bulk broadcast Moonside, the matter for her was closed. This evening, seated at his personal laptop in their shared kitchenette, the matter for him had just opened.

Aria left for her tour on the Moon with the International Space Force just three weeks ago. Since then, time had drawn out into an endless torture for Thomas.
