It's time for more Five Sentence Fiction! This weeks word is MOMENTS.
Moments Last Forever
Moments may be fleeting, but they can also last forever in
their repercussions. I keep thinking
back to that one day, that single moment in time, when I froze in horror rather
than leap into action, and how my inaction changed everything.

One fleeting moment, and enough regret to fill several
lifetimes.
If you were here, I might ask you to forgive me, but it
would be an empty request, because I can’t imagine how I’ll ever forgive
myself.
