Umm hello? This is SO CUTE. The story uses metaphors is a literal way to show what the character is feeling. He wakes up with a hole in his chest, but it's a literal hole. He asks a friend about it and looks up what it means. It mentions sadness and loss. He thinks back to his long time friend and him drinking last night. He recalls his friend telling him that he is married. He thinks he feels sad because even though he has known him for some long and they go out drinking often, he never mentioned anything about his love life. His friend shows up at his door step. When he sees him he starts to feel pain. The hole is growing bigger. They go inside and his friend is worried about the pain he is in. His friend wants to tell him something. He tells him that he is not actually married. He lied. He had this idea of saying something like that to see how he would react, because his friend has liked him for a long time. The guy starts to hear bells ringing. He tells his friend that he can hear them. He tells his friend to hug him and his friend goes in for a kiss. No more hole in his chest. This story was cute and clever. I enjoyed reading it.
