A Brick Wall
a drabble
Random word (Day 204) friendship, and the twister is the first sentence.
I would have sworn there wasn’t a door there yesterday. Otherwise, I’d have certainly knocked.
I had actually gone to call him back at Alice’s behest. We were going to the movies. But he saw us, Alice and I, holding hands! And had left quickly.
“So, what,” I thought this morning, “Hadn’t I felt green when she had chosen him as her tennis partner?”
Our friendship has to be stronger, after all, he and I go way back, much before this last one month, since when Alice had moved here, coming between us.
I ran to his house. And knocked urgently!
A Drabble is a work of fiction that is exactly 100 words. No more. No less. Here is my story in response to Nancy Oglesby’s Random word for day 204. Here is a link to her post.
I loved Eko’s drabble about the writer’s lament about no ice cream in the freezer, and what poor people actually care about!
