This Life, This Lifetime

by Li Baobao

Three years have passed since my untimely death, and in that time, my former boyfriend has finally moved on. He arrived at my gravesite, not alone, but with his new girlfriend by his side. As he held her hand, a smile played on his lips while he gazed at my tombstone. 'Nhu Nhu,' he addressed me, his voice carrying a sense of finality, 'I won't be visiting you anymore after today. I'm ready to embrace a new chapter, to start a new life.' From my ethereal vantage point, I could only offer a faint smile.

This poignant short story explores themes of letting go, the passage of time, and the quiet acceptance of a past that has finally found its closure.
