To the Firsts and Lasts

Posted: 03/10/22 Thu, 4:45 PM

A short story.

College girl Clio never liked goodbyes and if she's the one to choose, she'll never do goodbyes. But then she meets Annon, a good-looking, sympathetic guy, whom she claims to be her first love - her first brush with love, remarkable and unforgettable. He's the one to teach her about the goodness in goodbyes as her pet dog dies and her family leaves her in the city to move to the province. Little did she know that these goodbyes that she did together with him are preparations to the day when he will leave her, too, ditching her on the Friday night that they both have planned together. She bids him goodbye unintentionally before his disappearance, but when they meet again three years later, will Clio finally be able to say goodbye to her first love... on her own? A real goodbye this time, because after all, a first love must end if it will not actually be the last.
