Break Time – Flash Fiction #7

February 9, 2016 by Bishop Garrison 7 Comments

It’s time for another Flash Fiction challenge!  See the prompt below and give us up to your best 100 words.  We look forward to reading how the story unfolds.

 

“He wanted to tell her he loved her, he’d always loved her.  He wanted to grab her by the arm, pull her in close, breath in her scent, and give her the kind of kiss a woman would be able to recall decades later as though she’d just felt his touch.  Instead, all he could muster the courage to say was, ‘Life’s not all bad, Traci.  Just mostly bad.'”
