55 Flash Fiction: Unique
Welcome, welcome to Fantasy Island. We’re feeling a bit green today. And spotty. Oh, wait, no… that’s just my blog theme. And it’s more flowery than spotty. Isn’t it cute? Wait, you’re not here to discuss my cute cute blog. You’re here to read my thirty-seventh 55. Fine, don’t worry about me. Here’s what you came for:
“Let’s not talk of love or chains or things we can’t untie,” she sang along. She didn’t care if the other drivers saw the tears staining her cheeks. She needed this release. “Your eyes are soft with sorrow; hey, that is no way to say goodbye…” The lyrics told her, though alone, she wasn’t unique.
Story behind the story:
Hopes die. Plans fall through. Lives take unexpected paths. But in the end, it’s one heck of a ride, right? Just say yes.

lmao @ mojo you’re about two extra comments too late LOL
anyways, great 55. every heartache, disappoint, failure is always a way to learn. it shows us what we want and don’t want in life. it shows what we might do differently the next time around in a relationship. there’s that saying, ‘nothing to fear but fear itself’…i think that can apply to a lot of things.

It’s all about the journey.

Indeed that is a sad tale of many… & many times over too!
Great expression Smarmy! I love the way you weave such thoughts into words! But then, you are a great poet, If I remember :)

I love those Wonder Pets also. Thanks for your comment. The reason a lot of people put the stars in brand names is so that if someone googles the name, it doesn’l lead them to the blog. I do it whenever I think about it…don’t know if it makes a difference or not. Makes sense though.

Ah girl, sometimes the ride is a heck of a ride, but that doesn’t mean it didn’t hurt all the same. Anytime we invest a bit of self into something a piece of us is left behind. Some just don’t realize this and foolishly shrug it off.
I think this calls for a glass of vino, runs to G’s blog steals his ice wine. Here ya go kiddo, I’ll have a glass with ya. (hugs)
