The Definition of Love

The Definition of Love

This one is written for the weekly picture prompt on The Writer’s Mess, shown below. Follow our narrator as she get’s a completely unexpected reaction from her new boyfriend, prompting her to re-evaluate some things. When Kevin called her into the house, she flashbacked to Gary, telling her that she was wasting her time, that this was stupid, childish, and that she needed to be over it now. She…

Hello, and welcome to this weeks response to The Writer’s Mess’s Friday Picture Prompt Challenge.

This is the story of Jeanne, and how she finds Claude’s letter, over 150 years later. It also draw inspiration from this week’s Friday Picture Prompt on The Writer’s Mess, with the picture of the Love Locks. It is questionable as where this…

This week’s word is VISA, and it and I did not get along. I tried writing this three separate times, and finally am just posting one so I don’t have to look at it. I used the word as a travel visa, and we are following Andy, who decided to take a gap year, and does not regret it. It wasn’t until you tried to pack everything you needed for a year into two suitcases that you realized how much…
