A Story All About How

My life got flipped turned upside down

The year was 2021. Summer was in full swing, bathing the city of Key West in brilliant sunshine broken up only for brief moments by surprise thunderstorms blowing in from the Gulf. Ben found himself in the Conch Republic on business conducting flight training with the Navy, spending his evenings taking in the sights and the warm tropical air. Ana, in search of a brief escape from reality, flew in to visit with her sister, Irina. After a few days of fun in the sun, she wandered into a local popular watering hole known as Rick's, drawn in by the pulsing lights and music. As the music swelled and the energy in the room reached a fever pitch, her gaze fell upon a tall, muscular, and devilishly handsome man, moving to the rhythm. The music faded away and that night, they danced. The next day was Ana's last day on the island, and knowing their personal schedules would soon pull them apart, Ana and Ben met one last time for a quick goodbye at the Green Parrot. Irina was there too. They parted ways, but Ana could not say goodbye forever, and across the distance, the fires that burned on the dance floor that night burned through the solitary nights until they could meet again. Then some stuff happened, and now they're getting married!
