Today I'm joining Grammys grid's Wednesday Writing Prompt ,
to write a story in 98 words to include the word, computer.
Here's my effort. Hope you enjoy it
New Beginnings
Is that the time, 1.30 am, were we chatting all that time?
She undresses by the light of the streetlamp.
She never pulls the curtains, enjoying the night sky and the morning sun
dancing through the windows.
She lays awake, thinking.
If it wasn’t for Covid 19 forcing her to work from home, she’d never have thought of running poetry Zoom meetings.
It’d become quite lucrative, but more importantly, she met David. Tomorrow I’ll meet him in real life.
I hope… She shivers. I’ve been alone too long.
98 Words
Oh, sounds interesting for Jan :) Thanks so much for linking up with me at my #WednesdayWrtingPromptLinkup – Computer 98 Words or Less!
ReplyDeleteThank you. I love these short stories. They always take me in unexpected directions
DeleteLove it. I wonder what is going to happen next with Jan.
ReplyDeleteThank you. I hadn't thought any further than the 98 word limit for this short story. Maybe I'll look again
DeleteHope she will meet him in a public place, safely. Yes, i've met computer friends before, always with precautions, and it has always been a good thing. Hope it is for her, too.
ReplyDeleteThank you.
DeleteWell , Mimi, I don't know. It could be disastrous, but I think there will be lessons learned regardless.
This could be a lovely beginning of a story with a true happy ending (which I have always loved).Your ninety eight words are perfect for this. When I was a child my lovely dad, who I only had for 11 years before he passed away, always made up stories for me with happy endings.
ReplyDeleteThank you Brenda. I hadn't intended to take it further. Maybe I will. But happy ending? Not so sure.
DeleteHmmm. Well, I'd say that was successful 98 word story. Leaves much to my imagination.
ReplyDeleteThank you Julie. I love writing these small pieces. Couldn't write a novel though.
