~A story by Anne Buzzelli~ After Persey gives into an angsty instinct, her last summer in high school is spent volunteering in a retirement home. She never thought she’d make a friend in that place, but Adam the octogenarian seemed ageless. An impossibility changed the way she looked at love and life and herself.

This is a stand-alone short story, unrelated to Love Makes Old New. A woman is an unintended participant in a tragedy. As she meanders along a fateful path, she finds a way to forgive herself.
This story was inspired by this article from BrainPickings.org: Paul Goodman on the Nine Kinds of Silence. The impact of words is quite clear, where they come from and what they might say about us… but what happens when we don’t use them at all?
