Signs
Signs
Life had been playing its sweet melodic tune on repeat for so long that the reality of the situation was hard for her to digest. The same beautiful record she had lived by suddenly skid to a screeching halt turning into a more haunting and persistent sound which made her feel uncomfortable. Instead of trying to deny that such an event could occur, if only she had paid attention, then perhaps the predicament could have been avoided. At least that’s what she continues to believe.

Summary: Last night I wrote a long(er) short story for the prompt over at Weekend Wordsmith: It’s A Sign! This morning when I woke up I deleted almost everything. So this is short, but gets everything across imo. :D Signs. Ignore. Regrets. That pretty much summarizes it.

Whether it was for fun or as a profession, during middle school and all througout high school I knew I wanted to write. Now I'm 20 years old trying to improve my skills after taking a couple years hiatus. The stories I write are aimed towards young adults, but I hope they're fun for everyone!
and i actually know a person like that who rationalizes everything not wanting to believe she had a part in it….
succinct and well written.
