Love in the Shadows

Oh Jeff flash fiction challenge

By Andrea Corwin Published about a year ago 1 min read

"Oh, Jeff... I love you too... but... I need color in the shadows, definition!"

"Definition: You are not my main. Main is acceptance; the entree, not dessert. Your shadows prevent color. Love eliminates shadows. Goodbye."

Holly smirked. "Ha! I made him break it off. Now he's the bad one."

🔚 49 words.

    Nicely done Andrea. Hannah is right in that no one comes out well here. Holly is conniving and Jeff has a touch of temper. Lol. This conversation is realistic. Very well done. 👍😀

    I hate it when people play games with love. Good for Holly, though. This was great, Andi!

    Short, sharp, and dripping with clever irony! Holly’s twist at the end is gold—what a mic-drop moment. You've nailed the art of shadowy love games!✨
