Ms. Dorsey's story -- so far:
(Just to be clear: This is BAD writing -- but fun to do!)
Hearing his voice again was as sweet as tasting again the spumoni ice cream cone you picked up after you had dropped it on an unswept sidewalk and after it had mostly melted and was now running down your hand and arms. He walked through the door like a man walks through a door after he has been gone from his true love for over two hours, fifteen minutes, and thirty-five seconds. We ran toward each other across the crowded room like two jets zooming toward each other across the sky, but a sky filled with other flying things that were really the people at the cocktail party but seemed like helicopters and hot-air balloons and biplanes, hoping as we zoomed that no one will die when we eventually collide.
