Telling it Slant (and Upside-down)

{The inevitable magnitude of hindsight.}

 

..

The Beginning. (That’s what it was.)
She, bereft.
He left.
She, depleted.
He cheated.
Her, a stranger.
His anger.
Got hitched with “I dos”
She did, too.
He did.
Became friends.
Boy greets girl.
Girl meets boy.
The End.
