Microfiction Monday #69: Too late?


His note read, "Let's elope. Meet me under the old clock in front of the courthouse at 2:30 today." 
Now he waited anxiously beneath the clock. It was 2:33...

Microfiction Monday is hosted by Stony River; You look at the picture and try to write a little vignette for it in 140 characters or less. Lots of fun! http://www.stonyriver.ie/

    You expressed the tension in so few words. (Our ideas were similar.)

    She can hope the clock is fast! Clever interpretation of the prompt.

    I thought of something similar when I noticed the time...but went with the OCD in me that kicked in as I looked more and more at the picture. I hope your bride arrives in time!

    For crying out loud. If he can't wait three lousy minutes...I had to put on my make-up, ya know?
