FOGGINESS

By Reggie Jacobs

I’ve always enjoyed driving into the fog. The thick white blanket just barely moving forward to etch the landscapes I once knew. I had to wonder would the fog draw it differently this time?

It always felt like something changed after a foggy morning. I just never could really tell. But it felt like it had. I felt that very sensation as if today of all days it had changed the world in my favor.

The traffic on my morning commute seemed peaceful and by the time I reached my office the sun had pushed through and only a haze of the fog remained.

The change was complete.

And there in the parking lot was this porcelain woman, with light brown hair staring off at the sun. As I drew closer I noticed her dress was more than just a white gown, but a intricately detailed dress, with frills and folds that looked like no fashion I saw in the Sunday Ads. It looked pretty. She looked pretty.

I had locked my sights on her so long that when she turned I couldn’t immediately cut my gaze and so our eyes met.

“I’m sorry,” she said. Her voice had a tinge of an accent although from where I was not certain but it was as if I had heard it before. Not just the accent but the actual voice.

“That’s alright.” I smiled politely.

She forced a smile back as I walked right passed her and into the office. The moment the doors closed behind me I wished I’d asked her name. I turned and like any beautiful woman you don’t stop to talk the first second you see her, she was gone.
