Re: Prompt#3: Write a quick love story. The story must end badly.6 Years AgoI was 10 years love when I began to somewhat understand the concept of love. Some of it came from the movies others in from the daily soaps my parents used to watch. At such a tender age, I wanted to love and be loved. But I was quite shy and would be too flustered to speak to any girl. But I do have my share of romance to tell. I was visiting my native place. My grandfather owns a huge mansion. But because the family members have gone to different parts of the country due to their jobs it's mostly empty. And rummaging around the house, I find this photo of a very pretty girl standing on the meadows wearing polka dot frock. I was captivated beyond words. I took the picture and hid it in my room. I didn't knew who the girl was. I would dream about her. I would imagine she was my wife and we would act like those kids who played house. You know the game where you pretend to be husband and wife and if there are more friends they become child and even pet sometimes. Well, I was on my own special hunt for the girl. I tried to find her as hard as I could and as far as my legs would carry. But sadly she never turned up. My parents were beginning to suspect that there was something wrong with me. Parent's suspect when the child would poop on the wrong side of the toilet. And here was I journeying outside my home in the scorching days of summer and I wouldn't eat the necessary proportions of food. My mom gave me quite a scolding and I went to sleep in my room crying, hugging the cute girl's picture by my side. It is quite common for a mother to console his son after rebuking him and so came my mum. And as she began to say "Sorry" she looked at the picture I held and she smiled. I was vexed "Why are you laughing" I said "Is it because she is more beautiful than you" and pointed to the girl in the picture. My mom laughed some more "Yes, and that is because she has grown up". And I couldn't understand her. But the next sentence she said made my blood run cold and so ended my romantic story.
She told "That is my picture that my father took when I was a child". |

Re: Prompt#3: Write a quick love story. The story must end badly.6 Years Ago And I couldn't understand her. But the next sentence she said made my blood run cold and so ended my romantic story. She told "That is my picture that my father took when I was a child". Wow! Kind of adds a twist to Oedipus Complex :p That was a great story, thank you for sharing! Very witty! |

Re: Prompt#3: Write a quick love story. The story must end badly.6 Years AgoShe had never seen anyone like him. She knew at first glance he was someone destined to be in her life. His eyes met hers, and they both smiled. As he approached her, she felt her hands getting sweaty,she was so nervous. Only steps away now, she felt like If she opened her mouth to greet him, the butterflies might fly right out.
“Hi” he said and smiled sweetly
She smiled but didn’t speak.
“I’m Brian, your moms boyfriend, it’s lovely to meet you.”

Re: Prompt#3: Write a quick love story. The story must end badly.6 Years AgoEvery night I follow my lover. Over the hills. Over the sea. My lover never comes back to me. He blazes a path of uncanny light that leads me over every plain. Alluding me for what seems like eternity, giving slight tastes of his return. Some nights while I sleep, I feel his warmth illuminate me. Giving my body a new hue for the idealists to see. Yet, when I awake he is gone again. A game of cat and mouse. I am in love. He leads a blazing path for me to pursue. Formed in his gaze, he was the first thing I saw. Now I just follow his essence. I never get to see his day. Alas, I am satisfied with this end. Knowing the light is there for me. Maybe he is looking for me too as we circle the orb of our children. Maybe. I guess that is why I bring the night and he consumes the day. The moon always follows the sun.

Re: Prompt#3: Write a quick love story. The story must end badly.6 Years AgoThis story is about me and my ex. She’s getting married now this June, 2018. I asked her the exact date and time she’s getting married but she wouldn’t tell me. She told me she doesn’t want to tell me because I might make a scene during her special day.
She’s so conceited right? I loved her but I don’t have that much feelings for her anymore that I would make a scene and stop the wedding. It’s been years now but I’m still a bit shock how she can move on that fast while I’m still in my paradise land of her and me happy together. Before she told me I was his “dream guy”. When we broke up she told me that she was devastated and waited for a long time hoping that we’d be together again. I really don’t know remember why I didn’t pursue her back then. But now that she’s getting married, I feel like I want her back. I think that’s a personal problem. I have a thing for women who are already in a relationship. Which is bad and I know I should stop this compulsion. I need to have more self control. Earlier today I messaged her on Facebook and she mentioned that she was having a bachelorette party. We speak in Taglish (Tagalog + English) and we always joke around like how we do when we were together. And it doesn’t change even if she’s already getting married. I asked her what I was gonna do during her bachelorette party and she told me I should be stripper. Moments like these makes me believe that our love will never change. Maybe I’m just being dramatic. Who knows? I’d go there to Las Vegas and would make her feel my presence. I know she would like it. But I also know she’s happy with the guy she is currently with. I’d probably be very devastated if she was getting married a few years back, but I have processed all the sad emotions when we broke up and that’s probably why I’m not too sad as I write this. This story doesn’t have to end bad. I can still visit her in Las Vegas, be the stripper and give her the time she will never forget. |

Re: Prompt#3: Write a quick love story. The story must end badly.6 Years AgoA pure macabre. Although the grammatical structure of some sentences were little off. This is not poem. You cannot manipulate the sentence on your own will. In stories the english sentences must follow a protocol. Rest assured, it had every tone of a dark thriller story. The twist at the end was really intense and alluring.

Re: Prompt#3: Write a quick love story. The story must end badly.6 Years AgoPistol Man Howard sighed in
disgust as he stared at the man across the table with a loaded pistol. It wasn’t
the money or the collections of artifacts that this man had to choose from in
his home, it was the humiliation. Dead
or not, he did not think he would be able face his friends. One hour ago, this
man, the “Pistol Man” was the love of his life, he was sure of it. They had met
earlier in the day at Coco’s, the drag bar off of Hayworth and had almost
danced their way to three other bars ending up at Stacey’s in Melrose for a
final night cap, some heavy petting and the promise of a hot night and perhaps
a resort weekend in Tucson. He should have
known better, for crying out loud, he was sixty-five years old. What in the world did he think a twenty-five
year old hottie would want with him. His
friends had warned him about bringing men home to his house, especially after
he had been drinking. “You are going to
robbed, beat up or worse,” they had said time and again. It kind of griped him when they said that,
but he knew they were just thinking about his welfare. Aaaaand….here it
was. If he lived, he was going to have
to find a new set of friends. He just
wasn’t going to be able to face them. Pistol Man had a
drunken grin on his face, the gun wavered in slow arcs the shape of the
infinity sign. His eyelids were heavy
with sleep and Howard thought for a minute the man might fall asleep right then
and there. “What do you want
Oscar,” Howard asked, any fear he might have felt replaced with disgust and
embarrassment. Oscar snapped
back straight and regripped the butt of the gun. “Your recipe
book.” “What,” Howard
was more puzzled than disgusted now. “All those recipes
you won’t share with your friends or your family. You know, the beer bread, the green chili
stew.” Oscar grinned again. “Your sister
offered me a thousand dollars if I could get it from you. I think she thought I
would sneak in and steal them, but this seemed easier. I’m not even gay, but do
you know the saddest thing for you?” Howard felt all other
feelings leave his body, being quickly replaced with all out anger at the lengths
his b***h of sister would go through for those recipes, and for the fact that
his gaydar was apparently broken and that his infatuation got the best of him. “What, Oscar,
what in the hell could be any sadder for me at this moment.” “You paid for all
my drinks and my dinner tonight.” Oscar
threw back his head and laughed wildly. Howard got up from
the table and Oscar immediately stopped laughing and thrust the gun at Howard. “Where are you
going,” he asked starting to stand up. “Where do you
think, to get the recipe book.” He stood
up and went into the walk-in pantry, pulling the door partially shut behind him
so Oscar wouldn’t see what he was doing. He pulled out a recipe book and placed
an ice pick in his back pocket and turned back to the kitchen.
As he approached Oscar he threw the large
heavy book at him and with a swift move of his arm pulled the ice pick from his
pocket. As Oscars hands fumbled to catch
the book, Howard plunged the ice pick into Oscars left eye and turned and ran
for his phone. As Oscar lay writhing on
the kitchen floor, he called 911 and then ran out the door and to the neighbors
to wait for the police. When all the hoopla finally died and the police took Oscar
away, Howard sat down in the den and phoned his sister. “Hey Karen, I was
wondering if you and Wayne would care to come over for a bite tomorrow. I’m making the beer bread you love so much,
and I would so love to talk with you.”
