This week’s challenge is Cuffs – so, carrying on from the past two 100 Word challenges – the plot with Richard and Angela thickens . . .
—————————————–
“What did you say?â€
“I’m getting the car, Ang.â€
“What car? Wait – the ‘vette? Why do you need a sports car? You’d have to keep it in storage six months every year. We live in Alaska, for Pete’s sake!â€
“Angela, stop! I’m getting the car. I need a break. I’m tired and I want out.â€
“Out? Rich, you’re freaking out – you’re freaking ME out. Let’s talk about this later. People are starting to stare.â€
Rich stood, tugged his cuffs down over his wrists and pulled on his jacket. “You’re right. Let’s go. I wouldn’t want to embarrass you in public.â€

Oh no he di’nt! I’m rolling up my cuffs now…
Great story!
Oh man…I am really enjoying this story! Hope we get to read more.
Oh, wow…. incredible tension. Great piece – has me all uncomfortable. Hope they can work it out!
Wonderful piece! I love how you’re using 100 words to unfold a story page by page.
Looking forward to reading more about this story! Great job 🙂
Mid-life crisis alright. It seems to be an interesting paradox – marriage and freedom. We seek companionship so fiercely, but once we have it, feel strangled by it.
Isn’t there some sort of happy medium?
