🌾 One summer day. One quiet picnic. One life unraveling among the corn. 🌞

Sasha thinks he knows what love is. He believes the quiet afternoon he shares with his wife, Tatiana, in a sun-drenched Ukrainian field is proof of that love. But when Tatiana walks away—into the corn and into her own thoughts—Sasha is left with more questions than answers.

As Tatiana confronts the emotional stagnation consuming her, the truth of their marriage comes into sharp focus. Can something long ignored be recovered in the silence between the stalks, or is their connection already lost to the wind?

Portrait of Love Lost and Found in Ukrainian Cornfield is a delicate, haunting 2,300-word short story about emotional distance, longing, and the fragile threads that bind two hearts.

Perfect for readers of literary fiction, flash fiction, and reflective relationship drama with a poetic atmosphere.
