Write a brief bit of fiction involving a meal.
Friday Fiction is your opportunity to write a short (short, short, short) story. Many participants use more than one minute for Friday Fiction prompts, and I open up the One-Minute Writing of the Day contest to entries of various lengths.One-Minute Writing of the Day:Writer: MissmileI was standing in line for my usual fast-friday-lunch.
I hadn't seen him since we last spoke, when we broke up and he slammed my door on his way out. I thought that was all.
I was standing in line for my usual lunch. I didn't realice he was there too, a couple of feet ahead of me.
He took his tray and started walking towards me. I started shaking. We couldn't stop staring at eachother. He looked me in the eyes. I started feeling strangely unconfortable and sweaty.
As he was getting closer and closer I stopped listening to the noises of the restaurant and music was in my mind. Everything became slow motion. I felt butterflies in my stomach, all over again, like the first day I met him.
He gently grabbed his drink; and again looked me in the eyes. I started smiling, imagining the movie-style kiss that was comming up.
He grabbed his drink, and at the exact moment I fell in love again, he threw the entire cup in my face.
Him slamming my door was nothing. Maybe me soaking wet in diet coke is going to be enough.
Congratulations on the win, Missmile! I liked the combination of suspense and humor in your story. Feel free to put a One-Minute Writer WINNER! button on your blog!
