WonHundred Word Wednesday: Stalking Ashton

PROMPT: Do you want fries with that?

Ten years. That’s how long I’ve loved him.

He doesn’t know I exist — never once noticed me — but I’ve loved him for ten years… from the other side of my binoculars.

Every day I’ve watched him. Every night I lay awake pondering what I would say to him if he ever were to look my way: “Hello, Destiny. I’ve been waiting for you to walk into my life,” or “Do I know you or have I just seen you in my dreams?”

But no… I took one look in those baby blues and blurted, “Do you want fries with that?”

WonHundred Word Wednesday: Fred

PROMPT: The devil's name was Fred.

I found my keys in the toilet this morning. I have an idea how they got there, but Mom refused to hear my theories. Naturally, I was late for school. And after a bottle of sanitizer, my hands still felt diseased.

I slipped into geometry. The teacher was already collecting the homework, so I reached in my backpack to grab mine. I’d spent an hour and a half trying to make sense of it, but I finally understood. With a proud smile, I held out the paper.

When Mr. Welburn hesitated, I glanced at the paper.

Fred is so dead.

WonHundred Word Wednesday: I See You

PROMPT: You are on a crowded subway platform when you see a familiar face.

Across the sea of faces, I see his eyes light up with recognition. He knows who I am.

When he begins the trek toward me, I swallow hard and search for a means of escape. Anywhere. But I’m blocked in — it’s just too crowded.

My stomach flips upside-down, and I can feel the pizza I ate for lunch fighting for its freedom. The closer he comes, the harder it struggles. I must get away, somehow. My palms are cold and clammy. My feet shift beneath me, inching backward in self-preservation.

Suddenly, he’s there.

“Thought that was you. So… you in?”
