By Miss Understood
Before Kathy, Cole hadn’t understood much about love. He’d thought love was something stolen in the dark by his foster dad, or spent between the sheets of a brothel.
She’d convinced him she was different, until she’d humiliated him in front of those gawking diners. Made a fool of him, when he was vulnerable, down on one knee.
Fortunately, she’d agreed to come to his place to chat over wine. There she’d come around.
And when she did, he was ready for her.
Ready with the carving knife.
One cupid’s strike to the heart and she was his.
To love, forever.
Nice twist!!! Congratulations!
Thanks Matt. I am pretty chuffed because it is my first attempt at 101 words, which I can tell you is incredibly tough! Good fun though, if you fancy a go?
i here you,,this was great. you couldn’t tell where it was going, but it went…
Great one!
Thanks Kesh!
Good story with an unexpected twist.
Thanks Tom, I can’t help but write stories with a twist!
I wasn’t crazy about the title…………
Titles are my weakness, do you have a better suggestion? I thought love struck was clever, but maybe in hindsite was trying too hard?
Soulriver,
Perhaps if you took “Miss Understood” from the last line and the subtitle “Love Struck” would carry more weight.
Confusion reins supreme! Maybe I’m trying to be far wittier, than I can actually pull off?
But “Miss Understood” is actually my nome de plume!
So that is the by line, not the subtitle.
Something to work on, I guess!
For a first effort, this is great! I sincerely hope to see more of your stories! You “done did” GOOD! Keep it up!
Thank you Bobby! It was hard going and thrilled to have pulled it off (with a lot of help from the editors!)
Unusual but clever construction to provide the unexpected twist!. Look forward to seeing many more!
