This was written for Carrot Ranch’s Flash Fiction Challenge. Each week’s challenge is to write to a prompt in exactly 99 words. This week’s prompt is to write about an interlude. I came up with this.
Replay
In the two hours since she stormed out, I’ve done nothing. I’ve hardly moved as the fight replayed in my mind.
Was she wrong?
Was she right?
Was I right?
Was I wrong?
Were we both wrong?
Were we both right?
I looked at every angle. I examined every word.
I watched the tears stream down her face. I rewound them and watched them fall again. I watched her leave, slamming doors, and wiping her eyes.
I sat as the garage door slowly crawled along its track.
The garage door groans again.
Have we cooled or will we reignite?

Hopefully, all will be right again. Great flash!

We’re only privy to the interlude. I think they have somethings to work out. Thank you.

That’s an action packed two hours in 99 words. Even though he’s just sitting there replaying. Cool.

Sometimes, when it looks like we’re doing nothing is when we get the most done. Thank you.

Such a realistic breakdown of the doubt and despair of couples fighting. Love how you used the sound of the garage door in this interlude.

Thank you. I got the garage door idea from the dogs. *Author names dogs* They know that sound well.
