Writing and Photography by Jeff E. Brown

It began with a moan.

Not the type

You’d hear from

Someone all alone.

It wasn’t from pleasure, that was clear.

But I heard it again

And knew

That the source must be near.

I walked the top floor

And found them

Slumped in the dark,

Across from the door.

A couple, tangled and sad,

Whispering stories

Of times gone by,

Before the world went mad.
