Hi Guys,

I've been writing 69-word, theme-based stories for the digital lifestyle magazine, The Brown Scooter, every month.

Read off and let me know what you think/feel :)


===========================================================================

#55wordstory - Furtive


Today's word was 'Furtive.'

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

“I will kill you if you don’t tell me.”

“I am the wrong person.”

“TELL ME!”

“Why don’t you understand… it would be the height of irony!”

“FUCK YOU! Just tell me what I need to know so that I can start writing my story.”

“OK FINE! The meaning of Furtive is sly, secretive. Happy?”

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

#55wordstory - Freedom


Today's word was 'Freedom.'

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I gave them good grades. I gave them my first salary.
For them, I gave my dedication. I gave them my nights. And weekends.
I gave her undying love. I gave her a ring.
I gave them a grandson.

I gave up my dreams.

Free will was a farce. Freedom was never mine.

#55wordstory - Strangers


Today's word is 'Strangers.'

----------------------------------------------------------------------------

“Jack, Milky Way Galaxy. You?”
“Sia, Andromeda.”

“This Venus pub is cool but Saturn is the real deal.”
“True”

“Have we met before?”
“You feel the same?”


A million years ago on Earth. 

“Back from office Sia baby”, screamed Jack as he picked her up and smooched her.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------


#55wordstory - KISS


Today's word was 'KISS'.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

She was busy cooking.

He slid his arm around her tender waist, caressed her navel, squeezed her breast, and pulled her close. He spun her around and leaned in for a wet, passionate smooch.

“I’LL MISS YOU… bitch!”

He murmured the last word under his breath as his house burst into flames.

A Judas Kiss.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------





#55wordstory - Noise


Today's word was 'Noise.'

---------------------------------------------------------------------------

“Why aren't you starting something of your own?”
“What if your Dad doesn't approve of her?”
“Why is that colleague behaving like an ass?”
“Do you have any friends left?”
“Which idea are you proposing dude?”

I plugged my ears but they wouldn't stop.

*shoots himself*
