The assignment: You discover a letter on a path that affects you deeply. Today, write about this encounter. And your twist? Be as succinct as possible.

I attempt to gather my thoughts, my lunch and my keys for that return trip to work. All I could think about was the absolute and infinite sadness found on that page. I pause in shock as the truth dawns on me, and I dash to the side of the bridge to peer over.
