Endings, a story in 100 words
.jpg)
A walk with her at sunset he thought was an ideal opportunity to tell her something he knew would break her; he'd met someone else and was leaving. A sunset walk with him she decided was an opportune time to break to him something she knew would devastate him, the cancer diagnosis she'd received only that morning. As they walked along the beach towards the brilliant sunset they stopped and turned to each other, as if moving to some unheard rhythm in a well-choreographed dance, their eyes meeting as they uttered in unison the words 'we need to talk'.

Woah! A double whammy. He better not leave her now. What talent you have. : )
Thank you, my esteemed partner in prompt delivery endeavours. Much appreciated.
I hope she did open a letter addressed to him...

Oh dear, maybe I didn't tell the story very well. The cancer diagnosis was hers, not his. So no, she didn't open a letter belonging to him.
What a pity... but to be honest I knew it was hers... wonder if he would stay now... it reminds me of "Inspector Frost".
I reckon he probably will stay unless he's a really heartless bum.
And that would break him too.since he intended to leave... so the question is.. who will speak out first?

Interesting! I wonder if @wakeupkitty means she is on the woman's side, since the man is leaving her... and it would be "just desserts" if the diagnosis was actually his, not hers. You told the story very well!
In this case I am, thanks

Oh, I see what you mean. I didn't understand her correctly. Sorry @wakeupkitty. I get what you mean now thanks to jayna.
Does not matter... I think a story is written great if readers can interpret it in their own way

Howdy deirdyweirdy! oh no!! You are so creative. This is a brilliant piece of writing. The photo ain't bad either.
Oh Mr. J, you're such a sweetie.
dang, don't tell anybody, I got a reputation to uphold! lol.
I love this, @deirdyweirdy. It's hard to write a short story that is told from more than one character's perspective, but you pulled it off beautifully!
Thanks Jayna. That means a lot.
@deirdyweirdy Thank you for not using bidbots on this post and also using the #nobidbot tag!
