Assumption – Five Sentence Fiction

freyathewriter 11 Comments

It’s time for my latest offering to Lillie McFerrin’s Five Sentence Fiction, a weekly prompt where there is no word limit, just a limit on the number of sentences. Plus, although she provides a word prompt, it is just for direction only – you don’t have to include the word itself in your contribution.

This week, the prompt is  – MALICE.

Do let me know what you think of my offering below – and whilst you’re at it, why not take a look at everyone else’s offerings (I’m sure they’ll be fabulous), and even give it a go yourself…

– Assumption –

“Why the hell did you do that?!”

“Because I can’t believe that you spent all that money on yourself, when you knew I needed a new car, when you knew how much I’ve been trying to save up so that once, just once, I could have something that wasn’t second hand!”

“But I -“

“I don’t want to hear it – get out of my sight!”

I bought it for you.

“Sorry darling, I need to check the metering again. Have you any idea how expensive it is to develop large format film, these days? I can’t afford to get it wrong.”

“Don’t ‘darling’ me! Have you any idea how much it hurts to hold this position? Why couldn’t you go digital like everyone else?”

– Faithful – 

Vera had been carrying a torch for her Tommy, ever since he had waved a cheerful goodbye at the train station, back in 1940.

He had disappeared in a cloud of smoke and steam.  She had waved her lace-edged handkerchief, tears coursing down her perfectly powdered cheeks, until he was just a speck in the distance.

Life marched on. The war ended. His parents became strangely distant and moved away to the countryside.

Vera never married, never forgetting her promise to wait for Tommy, forever.

Now, her rage knew no bounds. Forty years later and almost as many pounds heavier, he sat fat and happy in the seat opposite, holding his wife’s hand.

He never knew what hit him.
