So...

I just dsicovered this web page: http://www.writersdigest.com/WritingPrompts/

I am contemplating doing a post every once in a while (hell maybe several times a day) based on one of these writing prompts, as the webpage states my response should be 500 words or less (which may be difficult 'cause I likes mme words, and hearing my self talk-er type), So! here goes!!

Writing Prompt Numero Uno:

"You bump into an ex-lover on Valentine's Day—the one whom you often call "The One That Got Away." What happens?"

"Oh Hello Tom/Dick/Harry!! How is that mutliple personality thing going for you?" I say cheerfully, smiling at the alarmed looking bimbo on his arm.

"Hey, shush, you know I got help for that!" Tom or maybe Dick mumbles to me, out of the corner of his mouth, turning to the bimbo he says "She's got some sense of humour eh?"

Bimbo laughs nervously, and says "Riiiiiiight, so did you two used to date?"

I roll my eyes, "Of course not, I exercise this kind flagrant animosity to perfect strangers unfortunate enough to cross my path."

An awkward silence follows, until Dick or Harry says "So seeing anyone?"

To which I reply " Oh yes!! His name is Hubert, he sells insurance, he is so nice, and despite the fact he's a little shorter than me, I like the fact I can see myself in his shiny little bald spot. He also treats me like a princess!"

Bimbo starts to smile condesendingly, and as she is about to open her overly collegen pumped lips to brainlessly insult me, I look at Tom/Dick/Harry, and say " We met at that syphyllis support group you referred me to, oh by the way, Gene says you shouldn't've stopped coming given that you got so far behind on your treatments. Tootles"

I walk away leaving "The One That Got Away... cause I can't shoot drunk" with a dumb struck look on his face,a nd the Bimbo turning the most unattractive shade of chartruse, I hope one of her implants ruptured.
