What an awesome idea! A picture prompt, a 100-word story every Friday that links dozens of writer bloggers! Thank you, Rochelle Wishoff-Fields!
Here’s my second attempt entitled “Owned”.
Owned
I sit on my favorite bench facing the archway. Two young men pass by, engrossed in conversation. One turns and gives me a genuine smile. I smile back. Freshmen for sure. Seniors reserve a different look for me.
An old sedan pulls up. A man steps out.
“Whatcha doin’ slackin’?”
I stand up and tug at my too short skirt to hide the marks. “Five minutes, Bob!”
“I give you five minutes when the jitters come tonight. See how five minutes feel then!” He climbs back into the car and drives away.
With one last look beyond the archway, I trudge back to my dark corner.

Dear MM Jaye,
Every time I try to write a story in Greek, I end up with gibberish, so congratulations to you for such stellar work. The story was harrowing and masterfully told. Well done and welcome.
Aloha,
Doug
Thank you, Doug! I do consider myself bilingual when it comes to the written word, but every positive vote counts!
That was wonderfully disturbing! Beautiful, powerful writing!
It means a lot coming from a fantastic writer like you, Nicholas! Thanks! It’s been a dark week, and it shows…
That’s why we write, isn’t it? And thank you, but I think your writing is every bit as good as mine – if not better. 🙂
Hi Maria
See what you meant about a doomed woman! Very well written,disturbing, all the more so as it happens much more than we know.
Dee
Unfortunately, it does… And when you see it happening right in front of your eyes, and it’s not a woman but a girl, and you can’t do anything to help the feeling of desolation is crippling… Thanks for commenting.
Nicely done. So much said in so few words. Bravo!
I appreciate your comment, Alicia!
So sad.. a fallen angel for sure.. I wonder if she once was a freshman herself – for some the fall is deep.. Love the compassion you show. Greetings from Sweden
Maria, Well written and very sad because it’s realistic. This happens to far too many girls, many far too young as you said. Well done. —Susan
Disturbing.
Sad and very realistic. Poor girl.
I have a theory, but I’m not sure I’m right, about what’s happening here. I like how well I could feel the girl’s fear and sadness, and Bib’s character was clear from just a line or two. A belated Welcome to the Fictioneers!
There’s a lot of implicit stuff more than what’s said. Such a pretty girl gets unwelcome attention
Thank you, Larry, for stopping by!
