THE BACKSTORY

It was the first day of the college year when I opened the door to the art school woodshop, and it was out of a movie. There was Ellie, this beautiful Scandinavian blond with long pigtails, bluish-green eyes, and high cheekbones, sculpting this magnificent chair. Ellie wore coveralls too large for her petite body, a white sleeveless T-shirt, no bra, and tan unlaced work boots. She had perfect breasts with small, hard nipples and a tiny waist with a scrumptious ass. I was smitten and couldn't take my eyes off her to the point that she asked, with a smirk, if I had a problem. I replied Yes, you. She blushed, tilted her head, and said, "You'll never get that lucky." I did, & we did. 

 

We graduated and got an apartment in Chicago. After two years together, I returned to the apartment and found all her belongings gone. She left nothing. I found one of her hairpins on the bedroom carpet, which broke me. I opened a bottle of Jack Daniel's, went into the corner, sat on the floor, cried, and drank all night.

 

That hairpin became a bittersweet keepsake, resting in a box until the tragic shop fire claimed it thirty-three years later in 2009. Memories of Ellie lingered, a mix of joy and heartbreak woven into the fabric of my life.
