Love Story in Snippets

Jan 27, 2012 | Challenge, Trifecta, Writing

I want him.

I love him.

How dare he!

I miss him.

I love him.

Yes I will!

I do forever.

No time alone –

Kids, home, life.

I miss him.

I’m joining him.

*~*~*~*

I have been planning on joining the Trifecta Writing Challenge for a few weeks, but it just hasn’t happened. I’ve been busy in real life and to be honest I haven’t been writing much.  So today as I saw the “Trifextra” challenge (they just upgraded to 2 challenges/wk. A long one on Monday and a quick one on Friday) I was struck with the creative bug.  The challenge was simple and difficult “Write a love story in 33 words.”

And so I did.  Hopefully You enjoy it.

    That last line “I’m joining him” wo-rries me!! But then, I’m a natural cynic.

    Snippets of a train of thought, impulses. Feel real. But I worry: what do you mean, joining him? I need to know.
    Came from the Trifextra link.

    You are right, it was simple AND difficult! I love what you did with it, so many teeny tiny thoughts and so many twists and turns … glad you came out to play!

    The cycle of a relationship but what about the end? Joining him where? Hopefully on a date! Enjoyed this.

    I like the almost frantic back and forth feel here, so much like how trying to have ‘alone time’ with young kids around can be.
