Departure

from Tall And True Short Reads

Airports are the same the world over. Full of frenetic activity, people coming and going, joyful reunions and teary-eyed farewells. Though not in the middle of the night. And apart from the passengers sprawled across and under the international airport's departure terminal chairs, it was empty and silent. Departure is a short story written and narrated by Robert Fairhead from the Tall And True writers' website.
