From the first person perspective of your character, write about someone they despise OR idolise a little too much...
I Watch Him…
It’s not weird if I walk with him everyday, wherever he goes—right?
It’s not like I’m doing any harm—I’m just there before he knows it.
I follow him to work.
I follow him to the grocery store.
I follow him to the local cafe.
I follow him to his home.
I follow him to the bathroom.
It’s not weird if I love him. Right?
But it’s not my fault. It’s his.
The way his deep voice cracks a bit when talking.
The way a wrinkle appears by his brow when he smiles.
It’s his fault for being who he is.
I look at his beautifuly gorgeous eyes.
I look at his perfectly sculpted body.
I look at him eating
breakfast,
Lunch,
Dinner.
I watch him sleeping like an angel.
I watch him take steamy long showers.
I watch him stare at the flat-screen television, entertained with the characters from movies he adores.
Just like I adore him.
Love him.
He might not know it yet though—but it’s ok. He will soon.
I watch his fiancee every morning prepare toasts and eggs for him.
I watch his fiancee pick an outfit for work.
I watch her grab her pink bottle and sandwich wrapped with foil.
I watch her leave the house.
I watch her start the car.
I watch her get to work and talk with her co-workers.
I watch her have a half hour lunch-break.
I watch her take a sip from her pink metal bottle.
I watch her choke.
I watch her fall to the ground.
Hit her head on the concrete.
I watch her pass away.
What a shame.
Didn’t check twice what she put in her bottle.
Poor girl didn’t know she wasn’t meant to be with him.
Only I was the destined one.
And soon,
I shall be.
With.
Him.
