101 Word Fictions: We'll Find Out
Marcelo didn’t know what to say to Vita when she asked whether she was picking the right door. Who has answers to things like those anyway? Marcelo surely did not anticipate questions about train doors ever in his life. “We’ll find out,” Marcelo quipped almost too quietly that Vita had to step closer to him to ask him to say it again. “We’ll find out.” Marcelo mouthed the...
