He lives under the abandoned bridge on Route 631, in a big cardboard box with Samsung logos on its sides. Like the bridge, he’s abandoned, falling apart, rotting. Some day both of them will be gone. I’ve spoken with him, and he says life abandoned him. But I wonder if the truth is something happened in his life that caused him to abandon it.
Here’s my weekly attempt at Lillie McFerrin‘s flash fiction challenge, Five Sentence Fiction. This week, the prompt is Abandoned.
Please, go read all the other entries to this week’s Five Sentence Fiction. It’s amazing what creative people can do with just five sentences.
My Soul's Tears 
Lots of abandon’s in there! loved the sentiment, all about perspective!
really great piece of writing Mark!
Absolutely wonderful work! I love this one.
A sad and beautifully written tale 😉
I really enjoyed this piece.
A real poignancy about this one Mark, beautifully put!
I found this very powerful. The reference to the Samsung logo, that detail, made it all so very real. Very poignant.
