55 Flash Fiction: Drama
Yay! Another bit of “fiction” in 55 words! G-man, I bet you thought I forgot… (I did, actually. You’d have won that bet.)
“What about Evan?” Jules asked, after Sara had updated her. “WTF! I want you to get back together with him!”
“Y’know, it’s like you’re watching a soap opera, and you’re not happy with the direction the plot is going,” Sara chided. Then she realized what she said. “Crap! This is my life!”
Story behind the story:
Getting this story written within the 55-word constraint was a challenge this week. I hope it was worth it. Also, thanks ‘Jules’, ‘Evan’, and all the other unnamed characters, for the inspiration. It’s really okay, guys… I don’t believe in boredom, anyway.

Yes… I think all of us have had parts of our lives that would qualify for inclusion in a soap opera.
Nice 55. :)
