Wishful Thinking

Okay, so this is not exactly a Valentine's Day piece - but Trifecta asked for a 33 word piece about love gone wrong.  We had to avoid using the words love, sad, tears, wept, heart, or pain.  Here's my response.  Concrit, what there is to offer in a 33 word piece, is always welcome.


Blood, spraying everywhere.  The knife held in a white-knuckle grip.  His body cooling on the floor.

“You’re not going to cheat on me again.”

She shook her head, clearing her mind of daydreams.

  5. Haha... you weren't kidding - this isn't Valentine's Day at all :) I guess death is one way to encourage faithfulness!

    1. Nope - not a good Valentine's Day. Death would definitely be one way to prevent someone from cheating. At least not more than once.

    1. Just a little. At least it is with this much detail to that fantasy.
