Waiting

Think you can write a 55 word story? Then visit

The lights dim,

music, a soft late-night jazz.

By the bed, glasses wait for cold wine,

and an anniversary silk dress covers

Only he won’t come.

He never came.

But you wait in memories.

 

Random Word? Perfect Weekend

The comforting sound of a scream in the kitchen followed by the noise of the blender, let me know I'd soon be fed. No one cooks like Mother.

In the arms of love.

 

‘Go on tell me again why you love me,’ said Kate, giving Edward a hug and a kiss. Blushing, he said, ‘Because you’re soft and true, with eyes that drown, and a touch that…’
