His Cracked Smile

He put his fingers to the keyboard.

Has this been useful? he typed. Have these words been helpful?

He was met with silence.

Does what I said make sense?

More silence, but he was used to this. In cyberspace, he had long ago learned, conversations weave into time in interesting ways. So he simply continued.

By your silence, I can see that I have given you cause for thought.

A smile came to his face.

That is it, yes? he wondered aloud.

And his smile began to crack just a little.
