John sat in the faux-loeather chair and watched as his rather zoftig wife stepped out of the dressing room and modeled yet another two-sizes-two-small outfit.
"Honey, does this one make me look fat?" John's wife preened and posed in front of the three-way mirror.
John shook his head and smiled. 'No, my love. It's you."
I was thinking this would go love story too! Nevets, what's up? No gruesome "It's you!" moment when the victim realizes it's her husband about to slice her up?? (You know I'm just funnin' ya right?)
Oh, and Deb, I just didn't get the voice right because I was trying to keep it so minimal. The ending is actually there, I just didn't get it across right. I'll be posting a redo on my blog. LOL
"I honestly don't understand what you think is so funny."
"I'm not laughing at you! But hey, you ever notice how just looking at the word 'laughing' makes you laugh?"
"No."
"Okaay. You want to tell me what's wrong?"
"Eventually."
"Well, I'll allow this maudlin behavior of yours only because we've been best friends since third grade. But I'm a bit hurt you won't confide in me. It's not that jerk of a boyfriend is it?"
"Yea, it kind of is. See, I need to tell him I've fallen in love and I'm not sure how he's going to take it."
"Not interested in the commitment thing?"
"Oh, he's been pushing for commitment."
"So what's the problem?"
"It's you."
"I know he's not crazy about you being best friends with a guy but c'mon, welcome to the 21st century!"
"No, that's not it...the person I've fallen in love with. It's you."
NEVETS!!! OMG, I peed my pants with the alternate flash!!! And, what a nerd I am for not getting your first one. I should have known to read between the minimal lines. LOL
Deb, I absolutely love-hate your story. Love because you captured the essence so well and have a couple of nice and distinct voices there. Hate because I've been on the gender-inverse of that in my earlier, more awkward (and more single) days. hahahaha
And, no, you're not a nerd. I didn't tell the story well.
Thanks Nevets! uhm, considering you crank out amazing stories like bunnies multiply, I'll overlook that you might not have been clear with that one. hahaha
“It’s not me it’s you.”

ReplyDelete[Alternate Flash I wrote in my head earlier...]
ReplyDeleteThe three couples listened in stunned silence to the radio.
"One of six Americans now has an STD."
"Not me."
"Not me."
"I'm clean."
"Same here."
"Definitely safe." Bill's Jaw dropped as he looked at his wife. "It's you!"
hahaha Everyone. Lovin' them all.
ReplyDeleteOh, and Deb, I just didn't get the voice right because I was trying to keep it so minimal. The ending is actually there, I just didn't get it across right. I'll be posting a redo on my blog. LOL

ReplyDeleteAnd, no, you're not a nerd. I didn't tell the story well.
Thanks Nevets! uhm, considering you crank out amazing stories like bunnies multiply, I'll overlook that you might not have been clear with that one. hahaha
ReplyDeleteDeb - brilliant - and fun! And a love story, to boot!
ReplyDeleteNevets: Seriously, I need a "do not read this while drinking" warning next time. Riesling spillage here.
ReplyDeleteDeb: Great. I need to know, will he love her back or are things about to get really awkward. Fantastic.
EJ, good question. I never think beyond the flash. Maybe I should!
