WonHundred Word Wednesday: The Talk

It's Wednesday, dear readers! Which means I have another flash fiction story for you.

The prompt: As he opened the car door, there was a loud

My story:

Tim pulled into an open parking spot. “We’re here,” he said. As he opened the car door, there was a loud sigh. Clenching his fist, he looked over at her. “We’re not going to talk about this now.”

“We have to talk about it sooner or later.”

“We’ll do it when we get home, then.”

She rolled her eyes. “I’ve heard that before.”

“Well, it’s not something I really want to talk about.”

She reached across him and pulled his door closed. “We have to do this tonight. If we don’t make a decision, we’ll both be dead by morning.”

WonHundred Word Wednesday: Tension

Hello, dear readers! It's Wednesday and I have another 100 word story for you.

The prompt: As soon as she walked in, she felt the tension

My story:

Jamie stood outside the doors, her stomach knotting painfully. Could she go through with this? She’d waited her whole life for this moment, and now the fear nearly overwhelmed her. Her hands were cold and sweaty and she rubbed them together fiercely.

The doors opened and music began to play. One last deep breath and she stepped forward.

As soon as she walked in, she felt the tension withdraw. Gary stood at the end of the aisle next to the altar, his smile filling her with peace. This was where she belonged. All fear gone, she walked forward to forever.

Hope you enjoyed it! Don't forget to check out the other stories too!

WonHundred Word Wednesday: Dreaming

Well I missed last week because I had family visiting. But I made up for it today, and thought it was awesome that this week's and last week's prompts went together. So I ran with it and made them part of the same story. Without further ado, here's my takes on the prompts.

Last week's prompt: As the dream faded, she chased it, forlorn

My story:

He stood a ways away, as he always did. The smile on his face as they grew near made her heart falter. They stopped just short of each other, as they always did.

“I’m so glad you’re here!”

“Did you think I wouldn’t come?” He asked.

“I never know when, or if, I’ll see you again.”

“I know.” He said with a sad smile, reaching for her.

The air shimmered around them. “Not again!” she cried.

“I’m sorry!” He reached for her again, but everything went dark.

As the dream faded, she chased it, forlorn, longing for him in reality.

This week's prompt: The stranger before him looked exactly like the girl he'd dreamt about.

My story:

He walked down the crowded street, rubbing his eyes. Once he’d woken from the dream, he hadn’t been able to get back to sleep. He mumbled under his breath. Why had he reached for her? Every time they tried to touch, the dream disappeared, and so did she.

He was so distracted, he ran into someone. “I’m sorry!” he cried.

He gasped when he looked up. The stranger before him looked exactly like the girl he’d dreamed about. When he looked into her eyes, he could see her recognition. “At last!” he whispered, before pressing his lips firmly to hers.

I hope you liked them, I had fun writing them! Check out the other stories too:
