He turned to her, suddenly. “So you . . .?”
“Yes.” Softly. She couldn’t meet his eyes.
“So then . . .?”
“Yes.”
“But how . . .?”
“Yes . . . I mean . . .” Her gaze faltered. She looked up.
“It wasn’t me, Drake.”
“Wasn’t you? But you just . . .”

I was searching for inspiration last night, and nothing came. And so I thought, Why not try something different? My favorite blogger Vincent used to publish fifty-word stories all the time. Could I? The above isn’t much of a story. It’s more of an intro. But when I reread it this morning, I decided, Eh? Why not?
Note: As a follow-up to my last post, you may have noticed I’m trying out a new theme. Nothing is permanent. This one needs work. But that’s why things shift, yes?

That is different! I liked it…because it can go just about anywhere.
And yup…nothing wrong with change!
Thanks, Steve! I’m glad to hear you liked it. And, yes. It could go anywhere! Hope you’ve been well!
Well…I must report that sadly you will no longer see that I replied to your posts at 3 a.m. I received a promotion and I am working at a resort beachside. So not only will I be working in the day like a normal human but I can now surf after work.
Took a long time but things seem to be a changing!
Have a good weekend!
I like!
Thanks to my number one fan…
So much mystery in this one. A story that could take on so many different angles…and places. And time. Hope you are well, Jess, and back to writing. Missed your words 😊
Thanks, Mabel. Your comment and encouragement mean a lot!! I’m so excited for you for your book, by the way! :)
Yes! That is why things ‘shift’…
Yup yup! Thanks, Renita!
what I was really gonna say – is – we (all your slavish followers) should have to continue it with equal number lines – / but I thought I should savor it a bit
Ooooh, I like that idea!!! Perhaps I’ll repost or write another with that addendum.
the new theme is grand!
I like this post ~ so much to be said, but it is up to the reader to do so. Cheers to a great week Jess.
Glad you enjoyed it, Randall! I think Hoss gave me a great idea for next time… Stay tuned!
