Now That You Mention It… (Trifextra Challenge, February 2013)

I’ve been thinking.

Hmmm?

About us

What about us?

I don’t think it’s working

What?

You and me.  I need some space

Oh… right

What?

You got it

Huh?  Just like that?

Yep.

This week’s Trifextra Weekend Challenge was ‘dialogue’   33 word limit.   Sometimes that’s all it takes.  😦

About Sandra

I used to cruise the French waterways with my husband four or five months a year, and wrote fiction and poetry. Now I live on the beautiful Dorset coast, enjoying the luxury of being able to have a cat, cultivating an extensive garden and getting involved in the community. I still write fiction, but only when the spirit moves me - which isn't as often as before. I love animals, F1 motor racing, French bread and my husband, though not necessarily in that order.

    I love how you created understanding between two people in so few words. It sounds as though that may be one of the few times for those two.

    “I’ve been thinking” is always a loaded phrase, fraught with peril – great take on the prompt! 🙂

  13. Not only did you handle the breakup deftly, you showed why they’re breaking up. 🙂

I'd love to hear your views; it reassures me I'm not talking to myself.
