Captured Love {#Wattys2016}

tape 13

the screen erupted in color, the outline of two people flashed in view. it was us. we were sitting outside on a picnic blanket.

it was quiet.

"leo?"

"yes?"

"if you didn't have a lot of time left alive. what would you do?"

"a lot of stuff. i'd make a bucket list. write down a ton of stuff that i want to do before i die. like i really want to jump out of a plane."

"let's do it."

"babe, you're terrified of heights."

"leo, we all have a limited time on this planet. a limited amount of air that we will breathe. but the things we can do? that's unlimited. why not start doing crazy shit now?"

"bea hamilton, you are the craziest person i know."

"meet me tomorrow at my house. five a.m. don't be late."

"ughhh. can't we meet at like ten?"

you walked away. leaving me to pick up all the trash.

"i take that as a no."
