Another 5 Sentence Fiction!
Don't know what I mean by that?
for details.
ARMOR
I stood before his office door, steeling myself for this long-delayed conversation. My fingers knuckled round the door-latch as I sucked a sharp breath between my teeth, forcing back every skittish thought and worrisome doubt that plagued me. What if, what if, what if...?
Can't go there - you are strong, you are ready, you are the better person, you are right, I told myself.
I held onto that one thought, twisted the door-latch, and went in.

ReplyDeleteThanks, JoAnne!
DeleteLove this! I like the short, get to the point of it which is so succint without losing any meaning. I wish I could write my 5 sentence ficiton in this way. Brilliant.x
ReplyDeleteThanks so much! I think the fun in FSF for me is figuring out a way to write about the prompt without ever actually using the word itself.
