The idea of Sunday Photo Fiction is
to create a story / poem or something using around about 200 words with the
photo as a guide. Please try to keep it as close to the 200 words as possible.
It doesn’t have to be centre stage in the story, I have seen some where the
placement is so subtle, the writer states where it is.

WAITING
The
day is drawing to a close
The
last of the sunlight softly flows
Through
the clouds gently fading
Daylight
hours finally disappearing
She’s
spent another long day alone
Nobody
to talk to, she will not moan
she waits wistfully at the window
Wondering
if he will be a no-show
She
is ready and willing for his caress
Dressed
in her lacy, gossamer thin dress
A
draught plucks at her alluring beauty
Drawing
her heart strings tightly
She
reads a text message just received
‘Five
minutes, darling,’ her breast heaves
As
she waits to see the glare of headlights
Through
the one-way street like two penlights
Waiting
with bated breath, pulses throbbing
Every
fibre of her being is aching
She hears
his key turn in the front door
Not long
until he satisfies her amour
She knows
it is wrong in her head
Sometimes
her mind fills with dread
Then
he weaves his tale of lies
So she
smiles with dry eyes
She can’t
stop it
She
can’t end it
She knows
it is wrong
But she
still waits all day long
She will
always cherish their love affair
Hoping
tonight they conceive an heir.

Very interesting! So lonely all day long waiting for that brief time with him. Makes you wonder if it is all worth it?

Very different take on the prompt, Sally, well done.
ReplyDeleteThat took a change of direction. From what you expect to be a wife or lover, turns out to be a mistress. Good story, and it flows really well.
ReplyDeleteLiked this piece very much.
ReplyDeleteIs the wait worth it? Her anguish beautifully captured.
ReplyDeleteGreat building of anticipation and the last two lines turn it on its head. Well done.
