I smiled at him, "Of course. As if I'd miss one? It's been awhile since you wrote one. I think you should write more."
"Humph," he scoffed, then looked at me tentatively, "Did it upset you?"
My mouth quirked a bit, "No. Should it have?"
"Well, no...I just thought..."
I laughed at the uncomfortable expression on his face. "Am I the dead girl in your tale, Sweetie?"
He paled visibly. "No! Absolutely not." The words rushed heatedly from his lips and I walked up to his chair. My eyes narrowed on his handsome face, his silver hair catching in the soft glow of the lamp light. "Baby...am I the dead girl with worms oozing from her skin, perched on your couch, asking you for a kiss?"
He chuckled then, "No. Not you, Kitten. Never you."
I leaned over the back of his chair, my hair softly brushing his shoulder, my breath on his ear. I kissed his jawline and whispered soothingly, "Then why doesn't anyone else see me?"
Tunes for no particular reason:
Ah, the Muse! Enjoyed it and thanks for the music!
ReplyDeleteMuse as rotting corpse - why not?
ReplyDeleteHmmm, lovers 'perched' in a sick relationship, at least one of which may be dead, sounds similar in theme to another fridayflash....
Ah.... creepy! Nice one, Kat!
ReplyDeleteHmm...rotting corpses...
ReplyDeleteThe guy is inspired by strange things...hey, wait a minute, silver hair?
Thanks to those who liked it. ;)
ReplyDeleteAs to all of this speculation...lol...
Mark, I wrote it long before I read yours. I swear. :)
Alan, someone who used to write amazing Friday Flashes had that very conversation with me months ago. He also has sliver hair. I just gave the conversation some embellishments and my own spin. :D
Here's the flash in question gents: http://dogsdespair.blogspot.com/2010/01/old-flame-3ww-jolt-ribbon-zeal.html
Oh! Fyi...in the world of me...absolutely everything is fodder for writing and paintings.
ReplyDeleteFair warning! :D
Oh Kat, not again. Back to Boot Camp with you.
ReplyDeleteLol. Not so much VL. It was just a memory that popped in my head. I'm reformed. I swear!
ReplyDelete:D
Naturally because you're a ghost, not a worm-eaten undead! Elegant, so full of spirit. The girl in this story is absolutely not you!
ReplyDeleteVery clever! I like it a lot.
