Fault

The Couple

Jeffrey S. Callico, July 2009

Fault

I got in the car and left the scene of the accident. It wasn’t my
accident. Wasn’t an accident I caused or was even involved with. It
was an accident of someone else. Someone else’s accident that I had
nothing to do with whatsoever. I got in the car (it wasn’t my car, it
was someone else’s, but that’s here nor there) and left the scene. I
had a right to leave the scene since it wasn’t my accident. I left and
didn’t look back. Why would I look back at an accident that I had
nothing to do with? Once I was far away I pulled off and got a room
and stayed up late and in the morning left again. I did this for a few
nights until the guilt wore off.

The Couple

He left the office just after six and checked the mail but there was
none so he threw off his clothes and dressed into something else. The new television he had just bought liked him a lot so he turned it on and watched it. Pretty soon they were doing this every night and in a couple of years they decided they were meant for each other so much so that the television proposed.
