Brief Conceits will be moving off of Blogger onto a WordPress-powered site. The transition will happen later this week. The web address will remain the same, and if you are subscribed to the RSS that should remain the same as well. Thank you!

Damien

Damien's hand hovers in a reluctant pause just short of the door. He grimaces then backs away slowly leaving his hand suspended at the door for as long as he can. With a sigh Damien drops his hand and turns away.

Click. Rrrrt. The door creaks open.

"Damien? Damien, is that you?"

He turns with a forced smile, "Hey, Julie."

Julie's arms are crossed, "What are you doing here?"

"I was just leaving."

"Let me go, Damien."

"That's the thing," he says, "I can't, Julie. I love you."

She sighs because she loves him, too. "I can't keep riding this rollercoaster."
