Hi Diddly Dee, an Actor's Life for Me
"Those who agree with us may not be right, but we admire their astuteness."
Cullen Hightower
A mini-story for you today, at the instigation of Cigs . Go read his stories too - they're much better than mine. We mostly talked about the weather. All other subjects seemed off-limits, somehow. Strange, when we’d been so intimate. I guess that’s what a broken heart does to you. So much to say but no way of saying it. So we sat and discussed the grey stormclouds gathering above us, like perfect strangers. I zoned out after a few minutes, watching his mouth move; that mouth that had once whispered sweet nothings to me. And suddenly I realised that he wasn’t talking about the weather at all.

amillionpieces / Website (7.3.07 12:05) The weather covers a multitude of real conversations with a veneer of banality that disguises there real meaning. Well written Katja! x |

|
cat minder (7.3.07 13:52) really nice. but i have to call your bluff. Was this reality and you just wanted to write about it under the vale of a short story? |
|
Katja / Website (7.3.07 14:05) Nope, not real at all. Cigs gave me the first sentence and I went from there. |
|
cat minder (7.3.07 14:15) well then you get a second, well done x |

Daxy / Website (7.3.07 16:02) I can't understand why people whisper 'sweet nothings' . . . can't they whisper something at least? And if they are whipsering nothing, how are we supposed to know how sweet it is? |
|
Katja / Website (7.3.07 16:05) Good question, Dax. Bollocks - you've just arsed up my story :P |
|
Mikeachim / Website (7.3.07 19:22) Very poignant..... |
