schoolyard

the boy and the girl played games. soon the day came when a game of chess ended in a stalemate. the girl huffed and threw the board onto the floor. she stamped her heel and sat and stared at him. he stared back. silence filled the room until it burst into a thousand heart-shaped pieces.
