Saw this challenge of writing a three sentence story at dbs, who created an ominous but engaging piece of writing in three sentences. Thought I should give it a go:
Man ponders bridge.
Man crosses bridge.
Man gets to other side.
Lewis played the girl like a Russian pianist, precise and calculated. His pure lake blue eyes turned cold when she whispered, “I think I love you, Lewis.” He dropped her hand, stepped away from her and said, “That’s unfortunate.”
She whirled around to face him with a look of accusation in her eyes. He took a step back, frightened by her anger. "You ate the last chocolate, didn't you?" she hissed at him.

ReplyDeleteEnvisioning his wife's lovely curves, he double-checked the chocolates and roses.
Reaching for the door, it flew open and his beautiful wife, flashing her best forced smile said, "Look, Honey, my parents came to celebrate with us."

ReplyDelete"You ate the last chocolate, didn't you?" she hissed at him.
Hey that was pretty good!
ReplyDelete"You never!?"
ReplyDelete"I did!"
"Jings, crivens and help ma Boab!"
My favorite example of this kind of story is: "The last man on earth sat alone in his room. And then there was a knock on the door."
ReplyDeleteAnd as usual, the post is great and the comments are great too!
ReplyDeleteHe turned towards the open door. He knew he wasn't imagining it this time. The sound was coming from somewhere inside the house.
ReplyDelete@HeatherL, nice entry. One hopes the girl was an infamous pickpocket, who played him first.;)
ReplyDelete@Brett, lol.
Sigh. Well, I may have been there.
@Sprite, again?
"She" needs to hide her stash better.;)
@Barb, it was? Thank you.
@Alistair, good one. Goosebumped.

@Laoch, haven't heard that one before. Suspenseful.
@dbs, post? What post? There is a post?
Ah. Sarcasm. I likey.
Agree with you on the great comments though.
@Meg, DON'T GO INTO THE HOUSE. NOT THE BASEMENT. *gnaws fingernails*
Fun, fun Antares. I'm still looking for sentences. They seem to have run off with the printer.
