FSF: Armor


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.

    1. Thanks 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.
