So, is it going to be possible to carry on after Awkward & Zombie?


‘Sorry about that, I had something caught in my throat, ahem, wow, that’s better’ she said as she smiled up at him somewhat innocently.

‘So…you say you’re the artist? Where did you get your inspiration for this..erm..piece?’ she said as she waved her hand nonchalantly at the painting.

He snarled at her, he actually snarled at her, his lip curled up in one corner and he had a look of disdain plastered an inch thick all over his face, she knew he thought very little of her already but she was determined to salvage something of the evening and she was devoted to at least seeing it through to the bitter end.

‘the women in my life inspire me, and the everyday situations that we find ourselves in’ he practically spat at her.

‘I’m surprised you had enough for the one painting!’ she sneered back.

  2. Hmm...the tortured artist attempting to inflict some torture? You paint a vivid picture of the scruffy, bohemian type whose work she couldn't possibly hope to understand let alone appreciate. Kudos for her that she gives as good as she gets. I agree the comeuppance might just bring out the true man inside of him. Very powerful potential in such compact dimensions,

  9. That bitter end came rather quickly.

    Good luck next week. You might have painted yourself into a corner.

    Of course, the prompt might be "breakup."

    Cheers!
