Good Afternoon Friday Fictioneer Addicts and fellow readers. Your mission (should you choose to accept it): Write a 100 word story. As always, should you get caught going over the word limit we may have to disavow your actions (no fear-no firing squads here). The inspiration you require is in the dossier provided by Rochelle Wisoff-Fields. This message is set to self destruct in five seconds (God, I hope my story isn’t that bad). Good Luck!
The Woo Way
“I’ll show you the way” she mumbled under rancid breath, once manicured fingernails full of dirt. Wax on, Wax off my ass. The sweltering heat reminding she hadn’t showered in days.
Jean Paul, her answer to a prayer. After Weeks of go-sees, cattle-call lines, presenting her portfolio to disdain, she was tired. “Come away with me”, he’d whispered over the nightclub’s boom-boom-boom.
“We’ll make wine.” She knew he meant love.
“Where?”
“Madeira…….my home”
Wiping her brow she looked over the hill’s expanse. From behind JP’s arms encircled her. Gently he kissed her neck. “God you’re beautiful”.
Our Home, she blushed.
Word Count: 100

Ah,love-what it makes us do and thankfully sometimes it does turn out to be roses:-)Great story here 🙂
Ye sit can turn out roses every once in a while. Especially on a page in fiction. 😉 Thanks.
So true 🙂
Very romantic, you’ve swept me away.
Thanks Dawn. I was in fantasy mode for sure with this one.
Dear Dana,
Beautifully written. Perhaps not every girl’s idea of happily ever after but certainly hers. Made me smile.
Shalom,
Rochelle
No not every girls……I think my desire to start over somewhere far away collided with a little romance. So much cleaner in fiction. Perhaps this is why I included the dirt- my subconscious attempt to keep the fantasy real. 😉 Thanks Rochelle.
I know a girl like that, I’d happily wrap my arms around her whatever. In fact, I did once.
Nicely written, bouncy and fun.
It is amazing when you can find it and appreciate it. Thanks.
Nice piece of romance. A real life change!
Sometimes I have to write out the things I desire to manifest in my life. A life change and a little romance as you put it.
Good story and the writing is great! Thanks, and could almost smell the heat. Good for you. Thanks, Nan
Thanks Nan. I was craving a little heat I think.
Hopefully, she wasn’t discouraged by the dirt under her fingernails because her feet are going to be a sight when she finishes making that wine.
Oooh. You just put the wine making scene from A Walk in the Clouds in my head. Thank you.
I was a little confused at first, but was swept away by the words… so beautifully written. Then I got it, and it was even better to read! Love this gem: ““We’ll make wine.” She knew he meant love.” Wonderful!
Aww that’s just so sweet. Love stories like that always tempt me you know 🙂 Beautiful !
I do know. That’s why I write them from time to time. Less complicated. Thanks Lala
‘“We’ll make wine.” She knew he meant love.’ i particularly loved that line. wonderful story 🙂
Thanks KZ. That’s my fav too.
Oh this is so sweet!! I love romance like this- which goes against the norm,its unconditional and beautiful…. I love this 🙂
Oh this is sweet!!! 🙂 I adore love stories like these- us against the world, and everything’s alright as long we’re together- that kind of thing, I love this!
Yes I only wish it were as easy to find as to write. 😉
A love story for the modern day. Well done.
Thanks Sandra.
The romance here is palpable. Has me feeling a bit jealous in fact… =)
Me too. Today we can live vicariously. 😉
Oh to be in love and not let dirt and filth get in the way!
That truly is something.
Nice story of affection.
Ah what a great story of back to nature… I’m sure they made excellent wine
They did indeed. Thanks for this week’s inspiration. i got to fantasize romance and running away from home to start over all in one fell swoop. Glorious escape.
Lovely writing, but I’m not too sure what’s going on in the story. I’m not sure what portfolio she’s presenting to whom, or why she’s so smelly, and doesn’t JP notice that with his arms around her… But the writing is great, so it does make want to know!
Ha! I left a clue in the word go-see. The challenge of 100 words. She is a model or was a model. JP whisked her to the edge of the world. I imagined with no traditional plumbing hence the film building up on her body. However neither of them care. That’s the fantasy of it all.
