I Wrote Till My Heart Broke

I submitted this to a micro-fiction prompt. The rules: Using fifty words or fewer, write a short story or scene that includes the line, "I wrote till my heart broke."

I gulped the last of the scotch, numb to its fiery effects.
I stared miserably at those damn letters I wrote to her, all stamped “return to sender.”
I wrote till my heart broke.
Finally, I tossed them into the hearth and watched pieces of my soul burn.
