Keith's Ramblings

for Rochelle’s Friday Fictioneers on a Wednesday!

.

.

I’m lost for words, my mind’s been plunged into darkness. I have but a couple of hours to find a way in which to tell her how I feel.

Something always told me she felt the same. That neither of us dared speak of it for fear of ruining our friendship.

One last chance. If I fail, she’ll say goodbye, never knowing how much I’ve longed for us to be as one.

Beyond the gloom of my room the sun shines. Surely that’s good.

A couple of hours, that’s all, then our lives may change. For better, or for worse.

      Not a clue – I’m beginning to wish I hadn’t written in the 1st person!

    Oh, I do hope he reads her right! Actually, I am going to choose to be positive 😉

    Intriguing story Keith. Lots of unknowns left as threads for the reader to ponder. Sunshine is always a good sign, I think!

    Sometimes you have to take the plunge. You know limbo is about as close to hell as you can get without being there.

    This is a risk we all must take, love doesn’t come free. I hope he finds the courage to speak. Beautifully told.

      Funny you should mention that, whenever and wherever I wear it, strangers come up to me and comment on it!

    Nicely written! Built up the tensio to a cliffhanger. Dying to know what happens next!
