“Hello, I freely give you my all.”
Ill-prepared for my neediness,
You trusted me with your heart.
Alas, protecting it,
Burdened my spirit.
Suffocating.
Leaving you.
Love you.
Bye.

Off the Book
It ended like every other stupid idea. Badly, and alone. I’m researching digital confession ethics, he said. A tech ethicist. He gestured at floating data I couldn’t see then pulled out a physical notebook. Actual paper, fountain pen. He held it up like he was showing me scripture.

So profound
Thank you so much, Kendall. This is the first nonet I have ever written. I had never even heard of a nonet until this challenge. I will be writing more of them.
Simple and very effective!
