Keep Your Fingers Crossed Chapter 1

 ~001.00~        

 

She tells me one thing after another of a woman I used to know.  Her words are creamed with raspberry muffins', and dunked in vanilla coffee.

She tells me of a love story ended in tragedy, in only four sentences.  No. Five.

Her climax comes, 

 

...dead body found, alone...so alone...

 

and my walls fly up, sounding out the words with silence.

I cannot let myself hear this...

She drones on, and I let her voice seep back in slowly.

I nod, pretending that I'm listening.

She doesn't know the difference.

 

It's not nice when a girl dies.

This reminds me of Laurie Halse Anderson's "Winter Girls". Hm one of the lines was word for word, don't think that's allowed, to copy that.
Anyways it was a very good chapter and had me wondering what's going on. You have interesting way of writing, it's very cool to read it!
