He stood at the desk, reading and rereading her note, his mind racing.
She can’t just leave. How will I survive?
She can’t just leave. I can be hard sometimes, but how was I to know she was unhappy? What did I miss?
She can’t just leave. What kind of terrible person am I that she felt like she couldn’t talk to me about it? How am I supposed to know what to do next?
He lowered himself into a chair and spoke out loud to the empty office. “You have to give me two weeks’ notice. You can’t just leave!”
Beautiful, Simon! You thoroughly fooled me again with that ending! Way to go.
Great ending! Also great story on how clueless men can be.
Fun. I was sucked in and tricked, and I love that. Also, impressed by the effectiveness of repeating whole phrases in a story of just 101 words. Clever & well crafted.
It’s worth repeating. – Men are from Mars, Women are from Venus…..
Good story…..
Thank you all. I’ve had a great summer and am ready to get back to the keyboard on a regular basis.
