“You always follow the rules. Can’t you, just once, do something a little crazy?”
That’s the last thing he said to me before walking out of my life.
Maybe he was right. Maybe I am a little too rigid. Maybe I need to take a risk now and then. Maybe it’s time I let my wild side run free.
So here I am, ready to take that leap, to cut loose, to break the rules.
I have to admit, it feels good. Heart pounding, I drop the sweater into the washing machine, even though the tag clearly says, ‘Dry Clean Only.’
This is great, and pretty much my idea of living on the wild side too. 🙂
It’s always best to take very small steps when entering the Wild Side. Nice job. Simon.
I don’t think I am that wild….
Love it.
Reminds me of how I used to think I was being “wild” when I would deliberately refrain from pre-arranging a ride home from a party.
In any case, it hit a spot. Great piece!
A walk on the wild side is good for your soul, regardless of your definition of wild. Loved this story. Really resonated with me.
Beyond fantastic. I love this one!
I love how the protagonist puts the sweater in the washing machine when it clearly says dry clean only. Great way to make your point across.
