White Ring Stays, The |
by C. Carson Parks |
This was sparked by my observing a person in a bar in
Hollywood, who had fairly suntanned hands except for where there was a white
ring where there had obviously been a wedding band. He/she was pretty
self-conscious about it and tried to conceal it. I didn’t pry into the
situation. Either the person had just gotten a divorce or the ring was secreted
in a pocket, and somebody was hoping to get lucky! Except for an interesting
initial concept, it seems a little maudlin.
