The Things We Say (Six sentence story)
GirlieOnTheEdge is a clarklike female who hosts the “Sunday’s Six Sentence Story Word Prompt” blog hop. You can read about it, and play along, by just clicking this link: Six sentence story prompt.
PROMPT WORD: DRIVE
= = = =
“If you leave don’t come back.”
“Hey, relax, it’s not you, I just need to go for a drive, clear my head, OK?”
“Screw your head, you leave then don’t have to come back, I don’t want you to come back.”
The guy blew right through the light at Jackson. I never saw him, never had a chance to break or swerve or tell Chrissy I loved her, and the last anyone saw of me was an undertaker who told Chrissy the casket should remain closed.
I guess the moral of the whole thing is to be careful what you ask for.

Hey A story is at its most interesting when the narrator is already deceased.

This happens in real life. Ask Rose Kennedy. Wait, you can’t, she’s dead. Great six. Makes us realize we should think about what we say more often.
