My Story on The Rose City Sisters Flash Fiction Blog

http://rosecitysisters.blogspot.com/2010/05/43-conclusion.html

Check out my short fiction piece on The Rose City Sisters Flash Fiction Blog.

This is a short piece from a much longer story that just won't get out of my head. It's been fifty pages, it's been five. I come back to it again and again (kind of like an old boyfriend). Submitting this 700+ word piece was my way of saying goodbye to it for a while.

I'm sure it'll be back though.

  1. That’s a nice little story. I thought it was so sad at the end but then it’s as though she’s not so bothered as she was expecting it? The people tucking into the food is probably exactly what would happen if someone was jilted... people can be so callous.

  2. Thanks.. this one just couldn't have a happy ending. The guests at the wedding saw it coming way before Amanda did. :)

  3. "Always she had known that it was love. It wasn’t love that could make it through times of contentment, or stability, but love that could thrive only when they both were seeking. Seeking change, seeking uncertainty, seeking to upset their worlds just so that something interesting would happen." Um. That sounds a bit familiar. Like every relationship I've ever had.
