Flash Fiction Friday - October 21, 2011

Flash Fiction Friday. What can you do with only 100 words?


She couldn’t believe he was lying there so calm and cool after dropping a bomb on her like that. Did he even care how she felt?

Even as the thought crossed her mind, she knew that he did.

Rolling over, she thought of the long week ahead. She was not one for sharing, especially when it came to her husband.

The numbers on the clock continued to move until she couldn’t avoid it any longer. Standing, she pulled on a pair of jeans, looked down at her man, and resigned herself to her depressing fate. One week with her mother-in-law.
