This post is inspired by the contest of Matt over at TwoSentenceStories.com. My stories are fictional and any similarities to real life situations are purely coincidental.
Reunited
He was my best friend and roommate for 10 years until he disappeared 5 years ago because of a murder he was accused of committing. Now I saw him coming, handcuffed, and oblivious of our reunion as he entered my jail cell.
Love in the Time of Recession
Alfredo hurried home earlier than usual, to report to his wife about his situation at work, and how he was laid off along with fifteen hundred others. Panting for air in between sobbing and breathing, he opened the master bedroom, only to find his spouse naked in bed with another man.
Heartbreak
Yesterday morning, Mitch was all smiles at me and at everyone else at the office, as she enthusiastically told us about Rey, a new guy she met, and how gentleman he is despite the fact that their first date was still later that evening.
Today, I saw her avoiding me and she sobs whenever someone mentions the name Rey, which incidentally has the same name as mine.
The Coin
I gave a 1-peso coin to a child, who knocked on my car’s windshield when I stopped on a red light. I did not notice that the coin escaped from his hands and he crawled under my car when the light turned green.
The Board Meeting
Everyone was attending to their own reports when the President reported to the body the company’s staggering losses. Unimpressed, the Chairman yawned and it did not take long for him to doze off and made crazy sounds.
Cannot Sleep
Saturday afternoon he was at home lying on his bed trying to sleep after the nightshift at the hospital.
But his brain would not stop imagining as the couple next door was shouting, screaming and their bed squeaking as they made love for three full hours.
Crazy In Love
He promised to love her no matter what her past is, and so they made love for the first time. After the libido subsided, and while they lay spent in bed, she confessed that she has herpes.
Horror Movie
A lot of things were playing on his mind as he stayed glued on his seat watching a horror movie from his laptop. The lights suddenly went off.
Solution
He looked sternly at the long list of his unpaid debts on his left hand while his right hand held the insurance policy.
“There must be a solution to this”, he sighed.
Bored
He yawned while the boss was busy discussing something in the meeting room. Then he excused himself and stayed at the men’s room for an hour.
