I finally broke the drought and managed to find time to write a bit of flash tonight. This makes me 12.9% of my goal and still 9 stories behind from my daily targets.

Story today was about a man waiting at a fountain in the park. He is thinking about the woman he is waiting to meet and wondering if she is the one. His thoughts go from how he is nervous and how he has not liked it when the woman he had met in the past had shown up early, late or just never shown up at all. He reasons on why he chose the fountain as a leeting place with it being public but the rushing of water did give some form of privacy. He worries about whether he had got the time wrong as it comes closer to the meeting time. A woman approaches him and breaks up his thoughts. It is the woman he has been waiting for. He gives her the information on a bit of paper and goes to leave. She takes hold of his arm and says "you won't hurt her". He walks off after saying she is fine as long as she follows the instructions. On the walk to the trees, the nervousness builds as one of these days, one of the women will bring the police and he wonders whether she will be the one.

A lot more imagery could be added but since it is 750 words at the moment it has the basic bones.

Well normally there are true stories based on my life. From 1996-1998 I was a courier for a kidnapping ring. It was my job to meet to give the drop information. I was finally charged with accessory in 98. * Can't keep stright face any longer*

Well I have been on blind dates and also saw movies/ tv shows with fountains. I also walk past a fountain on my way to work each morning. It was also based, very loosely if you have seen it, on The Conversation which is all about perceptions on what you are expecting to hear will influence your interpretation of said conversation. After you see the result, the interpretaion becomes different when you reread. The conversation in this story is the man's thoughts.

Hopefully I will catch up, although do have to prepare a couple of presentations for a couple of meetings next week, which will involve looking through about 40-50 user folders for the best images to present.
