Prompt: Write a mini-story (100-250 words) that starts with "They had nothing to say to each other"
They had nothing to say to each other. He had found out she was cheating on him with someone else. The kind of figure that every guy has to look out for. The cliche line "tall, dark and handsome" described his competition so well. His rival was everything he wasn't. Not only was he strong, but rich as well. No wonder she was leaving him for this fellow.
Usually in a situation like this, he was able to bring out her soft side. Make her crumble into a mess. Their love was one that had never been questioned or held the slightest sign of doubt. They were meant to be and shared a bond that couldn't be described. Everyone said they were the dream pairing that went hand in hand.
It seems this was no longer true. She had been torn between the two. Unable to make a decision. This soured him. How could he be replaced by someone who could be so bitter at times? Sure, the other guy could be sweet and enjoyable on occasion. But he was better for her. She needed him, didn't she?
His time had expired...
Poor milk, the chocolate chip cookie of his dreams had left him for coffee.
Wow! You're so good at this!! I love how this sounded like an excerpt out of a book. I would love to read this book that your writing (lol). The last sentence is such a great comparison to this story line. I love this whole post. Great job!!!
ReplyDeleteThat was really cool! I didn't know where it was going until the end. The last thing I would have thought of was cookies, milk, and coffee! I'd like to see more things like that from you.
