One morning in August, they awoke only to find that their underage daughter was gone.
They searched for her everywhere but could not find her.
Then they discovered a message under her pillow:
‘I have eloped with a man twice my age.’
The mother fainted. The father fetched an axe.

I write as a way of life: books, blogs, articles, almost-poems. I'm a freelancer, a vegetarian, and I listen to Leonard Cohen and enjoy French films. I'm probably dying, but then so are you, so shouldn't we make the most of our time? Reach out to me and let's make friends.

This is great. I want to read more! Especially about the father with the axe…
The father is always ready with the axe. 🙂
great story, but I love the image above even more.
I wonder why she’d mention that the man was twice her age? I think I’d have been mum on that point… 😀
simple but great! reasonable though 😛
Normally she wouldn’t. But I think the fact that she does makes the father pick up the axe. 🙂
I’ve always loved beautiful writing and this one is definitely going on the list. With a mere five sentences, you’ve got me hooked, set the scene and got the imagination running. Fabulous!
In brevity there’s so much to gleam, a simple wonder how a few words can be enough. I love the fifty word approach of storytelling!
*words (:

I wish there was more to read. (:
