Leaving-Chopped Iii

It was the autumn of nineteen thirty nine when the war was just beginning the world was taken by surprise as news of the war came in that night The desk was cluttered and topsy-turvy everything was disorganized and in disarray balls of crumpled paper lay everywhere unfinished report waited on the type writer Cigarette butts filled the ashtray to the brim some have the smear of lipstick on them this was the sight that greeted me when I entered the house that autumn day Then I found a single gold earring lying beside the faucet in the sink I wondered to whom could it belong as my eyes took in the sight of the room Beside the bed an airline ticket waiting the flight was scheduled for the next morning My heart was gripped with fear and panic as the thought of him leaving filled my head.
