200 words and a picture of your choice.
This is maybe not a picture in some people's eyes, but it worked for me...
Enough
How can one word
make such a difference? She sat alone and watched the car disappeared into the
distance.
The heavens
opened, and supposedly mourned with her. Tears and rain mingled until she had
no idea which was which.
And hardly
cared.
One tiny word. One
insignificant, tiny word, that suddenly meant everything.
Did he mean it?
Oh yes.
Did he know how
it would affect her? Did he even care?
She doubted it.
Had he thought
about it?
Undoubtedly.
How long had he
wanted to say it? She had no idea, but it was said. Spoken. Shared.
How would she
cope?
The rain
stopped. Yes! Oh my, yes.
Enough.
Enough.
That was what
he’d said as he stood by the door, bag in hand, car boot open, ready to fill
the space with golf clubs, clothes and god knows what else.
Enough.
He’d had enough?
Of what? Her cooking? Good. Of not always handing him whisky as he walked
through the door? Tough.
Meryl chuckled, wiped
away her tears—of laughter—picked up her bag, checked the money she removed
from their joint account was all there, and closed the front door behind her.
Oh yes it was
enough.
Love the style you use, the abruptness fits the nature of the piece, the relationship.
