You sat on the pier for nearly an hour.
As the sun fell into the far side of the lake, you stood, holding it in your hands. You closed your eyes, extended your arms and let it fall from your hands.
Did the guilt diminish as the last ripple faded away?

What did you drop in the water? Should someone call the EPA or the police? What is there which makes sitting beside a lake one of the most peaceful places on Earth to gather your wits, work out emotions or just soak in the scenery?

/ October 23, 2012Water i have always believed has some lovely properties,like they have a soothing sound like knitting great stress reliever, also i am able to think much clearly when i am sitting or walking near a water body..
loved the fiction, i would have to say the one who dropped something in the water has done it with a heavy heart, may be a letter or a card from the past or something which could have changed the equation of their present relationship
what ever it was it will never stop bothering,it never stops the nag

My guess is she drops her ring. Isn’t that what you hear happening after a breakup? You get rid of the ring?
