100 Word Drabble Contest #27
Prompt: Memory

* * * * *
"You have to help me! I can't bear to remember this!" The young woman dropped to her knees, clutching the hem of my skirts, franticly attempting to keep me from walking away.

I bent down, took her chin in my hand, and looked into her tear-filled eyes. "Why, child? Why are you so desperate to forget

I really like this. I think we've all had memories we'd like to forget, but they're usually the ones we need to remember most.

Nice job!

Thanks babe! I really appreciate you reading it! I need to write more *g*

*huggles*

Strangely enough you made me feel as if it were me... I am/was that lady walking away... I am so old now, and have to walk away as I have found I cannot change things any more... I really liked (and yet did not 'like') this piece... very revealing...
Thank you for writing it... it is deep!

PS who is your very very dishy bannerman? (Not the skullface you daft girl, I mean the MAN in the HAT!!!! yummy)

[1_rhiannon_1]

Thank you for reading it! :D I honestly have no idea where it came from, it just sort of came out when I looked at the prompt. I love it when that happens!

Mmm, my dishy bannerman is Andrew Lincoln as Deputy Sheriff Rick Grimes from The Walking Dead :o) He's my favorite tv boyfriend :D

[bluegerl]

MMmmmmm he is very nice. I don't know the series, as I think UK/Europe TV is screening differently. Andrew Lincoln...likes there's a touch of the Viggo face there... the chin???Nice yes!!!

And good luck with this next prompt! Hope its easier than the latest BF one. that is a stinker! see you dear lassie.

I think the show airs on FX in the UK but I'm not certain about that. You may have seen some of Andrew's other work in the UK though - he was in Afterlife, This Life, Teachers... According to things I've read, he also does a lot of voice work in advertisements on tv and radio :)

Thanks! I'm kinda spotty with my participation but this one grabbed me so I had to play :) Good luck to you as well!

Powerful stuff. This would be a wonderful opener to a longer story! Loved it!

[1_rhiannon_1]

Thank you! :D For the moment, that's all I have on it but someday I may continue it :D

[justjo2u]

I hopr you do ut I understand. Have the makings of a story started mnyself somewhere but there is never the time to continue it.

[1_rhiannon_1]

I have a bunch that are in desperate need of editing too. Too many stories, not nearly enough hours in the day!
