It was only a small dot, a water stain that hadn't been taken care of by the dishwasher, but when she saw it she froze. The small dot, just at the base of the wine goblet that they'd used for their wedding toast. They'd been so proud that it was dishwasher-safe, that they were being practical as well as romantic.... She saw the small dot, and the goblet slipped from between her fingers. It bounced, once, and then shattered to pieces on the vinyl floor of the kitchen. She looked down at it. She should get a dustpan and sweep it up, she thought, but for some reason the smudge of the water stain lingered in her mind, and instead she untied the apron she was wearing, tossed it on the kitchen counter, grabbed her car keys, and walked out the front door. She didn't even pick up her wallet from where it sat near the door. That wasn't the point.
Inspiration: "dot"
Story Potential: I don't know. Medium? It would probably be marketable, that's a really strong chick-lit start.
Notes: Was thinking of something not sci-fi or fantasy, wanted to see what would happen. Answer is, apparently chick-lit. Kinda surprised by that.
