Yeah Write Micro-stories: Attrition

opentable.com

“PENNED IN!!!”.

“Me, too. So excited.”

(Note: Exclamation marks missing from my response.)


The rub? A date is a date. Knowing this, she’ll make me explain why I’ve been avoiding her. That’s a tough one.

Yeah Write Micro-Stories: When Your Wife Might Really Be A Zombie


Honey, don't forget to lock the balcony door!

The thing about being married to a “ripe” woman who sleepwalks is my darling bridegroom can't discern where I’m headed post-midnight. I believe he’s secretly relieved when I hit a bedroom wall because then he doesn’t have to search far for me.

Yeah Write Garblebuster: Location, Location, Location


Nat’s first “grownup” place was a fourth floor walkup studio.

The radiators knocked, lead paint peeled off windowsills,

A whiff of bug bomb permeated the hallways,

To her, it was “home”.

She’d grow accustom to the scattering when the lights turned on.
