Memories In A Bottle

"I stared her in the eye and decided not to hand it to her. She looked back at me with rage and anger, and I felt scared. But I knew it was for the best. I knew it would make it better for her." A flash fiction about memories.Solpadol is a story about self-destruction, drug dependency and unrequieted love. Taking place over the course of a single day, Carey returns to his Broken Polemic series with another semi-confessional, semi-fictional piece of work that works to blur the lines between fiction and reality. This time, love is the overwhelming theme of the narrative, with much of the day revolving around a single conversation between the unnamed protagonist and the woman he used to love. Solpadol is a real look at the aftermath of unrequieted love, and the damage it can leave on a person's soul.
