STORY STARTER
Submitted by Celaid Degante
Leaving
Write about a character leaving something, or someone, they love.
Magnetic Solstice
What you are about to read
Is a true story.
Years of resentment
Being left behind
Being put second,
or third
to his mom,
his job.
Resentment has grown
to complacency.
Going about my day
Like a “good wife” should.
Until...
A spark!
A smile!
A laugh!
...just not from...him.
Talking at work
turned to texting at home.
Lunching at work
turned to dinners out.
An undeniable attraction
A positive with a negative
A magnetic solstice
When we first kissed.
