Fiction post for the week of 05/22 - Complications

So. the_bookshelves and I are in a pact that requires us to each post a piece of writing per week. In her case, I think it'll be a chapter in a longer story. In my case, though, it'll probably be short stories (new or newly-edited), for the most part. If I have no writing, then I will post a piece of bad poetry for y'all to laugh at. But I'm going to post something, anything, each week.

A dialogue scene popped into my head the other day, and I decided to turn it into a story snippit. It turned out fairly well considering I was half-loaded when I wrote it, and it only needed minimal editing to make it readable now that I'm sober.

Anyway, here it is. I'll save my ramblings for afterward.

( Complications - Vignette, 700 words )

So there you go. Now, here are my ( ramblings about the intent of the piece, the characters, and all that fun stuff. )

Anyway, if you're not up for the in-depth analysis, that's fine. Just reading it is okay, too. ;-) But I'd love to know if you did, so please drop a comment.

the_bookshelves! Hurry up and update with your chapter!
