33 Word Love Story

     An hour into our first date you suddenly revealed your mother died choking on peanuts. 
     I whispered, "my father was choked to death by a drug-dealer," and thought, I found you. At last.

I write non-fiction or creative non-fiction but I rarely write fiction. It's just so hard. However, the 33 word love story challenge at Trifecta just seemed like too much fun not to try. Click above and check out the other entries. Or try it.

Now I want to know the rest of the story! That's awesome DB.

That's a really cool idea. And well done on your story.
I guess I can give it a shot:
The whip cracked again. This time the welt on his back opened up. He held back the safety word until the sixth whip. She whipped her love into him.

Maybe it's because I watched the movie Secretary right before reading this.

Welcome to the challenge, dbs! This is a clever response to the prompt, and very different to the other stories. Hopefully we'll see more of your creativity in our weekday prompt on Monday...

Such a different take! I like the, what, irony? darkness? twisted? all of the above. I like it :)

I'm totally intimidated by your brilliance but here goes:

"Navigating by instinct alone, it was inevitable we would collide. His tussled hair obscured his features, but his effortless slouch spoke volumes. He proceeded unfazed, but I knew he was texting about me."

Definitely harder than it looks. Anyway, I'm glad I found your blog. The Defiant Marshmallow put me on to it.
