Excellent description of the prompt! :)

Also, as always, beautifully written. I really enjoyed it, with all the little details about the trees and the flowers and the sun and the squirrel. :)

[halfshellvenus]

Thank you! Really, getting the tone of the prompt was what made this a challenge. Love stories are one thing, but this was a particular flavor of love.

That squirrel... so innocent, so cute, until things turned ugly. Never trust a rodent with your emotional unburdening!

[lawchicky]

This was beautiful!

[halfshellvenus]

Thank you-- I'm so glad you thought so!

this is completely adorable. i love how distracted kevin is, and the squirrel made me giggle.

[halfshellvenus]

Yay! Sounds like it conveyed the prompt very thoroughly.

We really have no idea whether Kevin might ordinarily be a smart person, given what happens here.

And the squirrel... when wild things seem interested in you, that isn't always a good thing. o_O

[lilycobalt]

I laughed so hard at everything that happened to distracted Kevin. Thank you for doing this topic so well!

[halfshellvenus]

I'm glad the humor struck you so well, here!

I feel bad for the guy, if only because the realization of every embarrassing thing he's done always comes after it's too late.

That outburst in class-- the other students sure must have wondered where THAT came from. :0

I liked the humor in this piece. :)

[halfshellvenus]

Thank you!

The prompt really suggested something to me where the person involved might have no idea of just how scatterbrained they would be, but it likely would be obvious to everyone else. o_O
