Warning Signs

the only photo on his nightstand
was of himself
framed newspaper in living room
of his basketball playing days
nary a photo of anyone else
she searched but came up empty

warning signs to his date
she did discover magnets on his frig
of a young boy; discovered it was him
She used his personalized stationary
to write him a good-bye note
He did not see it until an hour later
did not hear the door close
from his position at the full length mirror

I am pretty pleased that this idea came through as that is what I was striving to do.

A wise person indeed heeds a warning sign. I enjoyed it, Caren. :=)
