SUZIE'S WISH by uciboy PART VI - EPILOGUE When Suzie finished her story, she looked at the Saratoga between her fingers which had burned all the way down to the filter. She dropped it into the ashtray and gave a sigh as she looked down at the floor, then looked back up at me with a forced smile. There were no tears in her eyes, but rather just an emptiness; a sadness that I had never seen before. "What happened to your family," I asked as I handed her the pack of cigarettes. She pulled out a fresh 120 and tilted her head downwards as she lit it freehanded. Taking a cheek hallow puff as she moved her head back up, she grabbed the cigarette with fingers and snapped back a ball of smoke. "My sister," she said after exhaling a stream towards the side, "jumped bail. We never heard from her again. My parents got divorced soon afterwards." She took another puff and held the smoke in deep, as if the sensations alone from the nicotine were enough to ease the heartache she clearly felt. "I bounced back and forth with my Mom and Dad until I finished high school. I've been on my own since starting college." She bit her lip as she looked down at the ashtray, brimming now with stubbed-out butts. "I should go," she said as she stood up. When we reached the front door of my apartment, I had one last question for Suzie. "Whatever happened to the wish granting company?" I asked as she walked outside. She took a final puff on her cigarette and blew a cone up to the porch light. "I couldn't find any information on them afterwards," she replied. "It was like they never existed." She threw the Saratoga on the pavement outside and crushed it under her foot. Then she quietly added, "I wish they never had." END |
