The Space Between us Prompt:

In a relationship, there are many degrees of space between people, whether physical or emotional. Write a story or poem or create a visual media that explores this "space between." It could be the silence that stretches between two strangers on a train, the years of unspoken words between old friends, or the invisible walls that form in a marriage. You may want to focus on the nuances of what is left unsaid, what is felt but not shown. How does this space shape the people involved? How does it change them, for better or worse?

All submitters will use the same prompt.
