For years, Larry poured over Sally’s stories on Medium, captivated by her wit and wisdom.
Their online banter sparked a connection, leaving him helplessly in love.
He was enthralled with her and hoped his poetry and long prose proved that. He wanted nothing more than to spend the rest of his life with her. Larry envisioned their porch swing swaying in the breeze while they wrote.
Finally, fate intervened, and they would attend a writing conference together.
Larry approached Sally with nervous trepidation — mumbling his enchantment with her.
With a quizzical smile, she asked simply, “Now, who are you again?”
For this drabble, the random word to build the story around is “conference.”
