Charli’s Carrot Ranch prompt this week:
January 23, 2019, prompt: In 99 words (no more, no less), write a story about a park bench. Use this gif to choose a timeframe and write the story behind that particular scene. Use the time as your title. Go where the prompt leads!
16:00
How much longer?
It’s been half an hour now.
I know she likes to keep me waiting, but this is taking the mick.
I hadn’t counted on the bench being wet either.
Who would have expected rain in June?
Actually, what am I thinking?
It’s England. Rain can happen at any time.
At least the flowers still look good.
They should, at that price.
Does this mean I’ve been stood up?
I wonder how many others have sat on this bench, waiting.
What’s that? Oh, a message.
Seriously?
She’s not coming.
Had a better offer.
Prosecco with the girls…
But I Smile Anyway...

Ah, well, Prosecco is always the better offer! Still, I liked how this character worried as you went into his state of mind. He should have kept the flowers for himself!

At first, congratulations to the new image, Sis! You are smiling like a ladybug. Lol Love it! I hope the poem depends not on your own experiences. I heared about other dating services with faster support. 😉 Well done, indeed! Michael
