Its been a long time since I took part in Lillie McFerrins Five Sentence Fiction but after someone tweeted about it I thought, I'll just check the prompt and see if anything comes to mind, if so then I will take part.
The prompt was: Abandoned
And here is what my brain told me to write!

Please don't leave me
I have to
You don't have to...please...
I have to
Please don't leave me
very good illustration that sometimes less is more. You packed a lot of emotion and set the stage for endless speculation and did it all in 20 words or less. Impressive.
ReplyDeleteI'm glad you commented because you were the someone who tweeted on question! Lol thanks. I think I am liable to over complicate things sometimes. I love speculation too & I asked myself what the story around it would be. But some things are best left unsaid. Anyway...thanks :)
DeleteWow! Terribly sad Kate. I never will understand how you can pack so much emotion into so few words.
ReplyDeleteThanks hap. It just sorta happened. Good prompts that caused an emotional reaction...or something like that!
DeleteSounds as if one lover is pleading with their lover not to leave, for they're sorry for what has happened in their relationship
ReplyDeleteIt does...I have thought about what type of scene this could relate to and there are so many things that it could be. Thanks for stopping by and leaving a comment.
DeleteFirst time I've seen one this short - nicely done!
ReplyDeleteThanks & thanks for stopping by.
DeleteSuccinct and yet powerful, well done.
ReplyDeleteThanks :) I appreciate all comments.
DeleteYou captured the entire feeling here. Poetic.
ReplyDeleteSo much emotion packed into so few words... we can conjure a dozen scenarios in our heads where this dialog would fit perfectly, and say all that there is to say. Simply excellent!
ReplyDeleteThank you, it definitely made me ponder.
DeleteYep, you've expertly captured desperation and loss, lovely!
ReplyDeletehaha! I love that you ended the comment with lovely, made me laugh. Thank you for your comments.
DeleteSorry to repeat the above but yes, so much emotion and desperation in so few words. Very clever writing proving less is indeed more. x
ReplyDeleteNo need to apologise! Thank you and thanks for stopping by to read it.
