Professor Leeroy and Lance at My Blog Can Beat up Your Blog are letting me pass my 100 Word Song in a little late this week. I hope he doesn’t mind, I’ve given Karen the night off and introducing you to Charlotte. Musical inspiration is provided by Damien Rice’s song “Elephant”.
Playing Possum
The
dull midwinter light filtered through the vinyl blinds into Charlotte’s dorm
room. She tried to role over but something blocked her way. She placed her hand
on the Brendan’s solid shoulder. Memories washed over her with a wave of
nausea. They salved his broken heart with Jagermeister until it was empty. Then
they turned to each other. Charlotte knew she just a warm place for Brendan to
rest his wounded pride—just good friends.
For her it was the unveiling of a long kept secret.
“What
now,” she whispered.
“Damn,”
he thought to himself as he pretended to sleep.
Oh. Ouch. Oh. But so good and real and did you spy on me in college???
ReplyDeleteIn 100 words you put every thought of that song inside my head.
I loved it Vic!
I remember I loved your 100 word posts in the past. Amazing what a powerful story you tell in one paragraph. And this does sound a like a scene from young love.
