In honor of week 60 of Saturday Centus, Jenny Matlock has a special challenge.Write a story of no more than 60 words, not including the two-word title.
This week's title is DEAR JOHN. To see how you can join the fun and link to other stories, visit Jenny's blog.
Here's my 60-word story:
Dear John,
In the past you’ve been unfaithful. I’ve overlooked your dalliances and forgiven you.
Last night I met someone else.
He is tall, dark, and handsome and swore his undying devotion--to me!
No more jealous quarrels or lonely nights.
I’ve found my soul mate, the man who'll love me the rest of my days.
His name--Don Juan.
True love at last!
ReplyDeleteOr should I have said "Good luck with that!"?
Hey June,
ReplyDeleteThanks for your comment.
When it comes to love, some folks are blind; others are just plain stupid. I think our letter writer falls into the latter category.
Donna
Very good take on the prompt !
ReplyDeleteThat poor woman has a rude awakening in store !
Thanks, Nonna.
ReplyDeleteYou're right. She does have a lot to learn.
Donna
But of course Don Juan is by far the better snake in the grass! Great letter!
ReplyDeleteJumping from the frying pan into the fire is never a safe move! I love this.
ReplyDeleteNamaste.........cj
Is Don real, or just a man of her fantasies? Well done! Peace and blessings
ReplyDeleteI dated that guy! He's no better than the rest of them!!!!
ReplyDeleteI'm with Judie...I don't think DJ will be different. But don't we all wish for one of these!
ReplyDeleteIf a gal's going to be with a womanizer, she might as well go for the sexiest one around.
ReplyDeleteThis was a very enjoyable centus and not your typical "Dear John" letter.
loved this!!! but poor girl, wrong choice both times ...
ReplyDeletehahahaah. I give it a week. :)
ReplyDeleteLOL, John to Juan, what a leap of faith. :) Nice challenge entry.

Loved the cute twist at the end! Maybe she'll learn to write a Dear Don Juan letter next time and then settle with someone who can't read.
ReplyDeleteHi cj,
ReplyDeleteThanks.
Hi Jeff,
Good question.
Hi Judie,
I think I dated that guy, too.
Hi Bookie,
Ah, it's true love is blind.
Hi Rawkynrobyn,
You got it. Go for the gold!
Hi Jo,
Some people never learn.
Hi Dazee Dreamer.
Or a weekend.
Hi Jules,
Thanks!
Hi Tammy,
Now that would be interesting.
Donna
Donna, You're so funny! I absolutely loved it. Btw--Don Juan's are everywhere.
ReplyDeleteHi Clara,
ReplyDeleteThanks. These exercises help keep me on my toes.
Donna
Love it! Can't we all just imagine what he looks like, too...with that name? Great job!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Becky!
ReplyDeleteDonna
LOL! Great job, Donna! Love the twist at the end! Perfect!
ReplyDeleteAh, well, at least she'll probably have a bit of fun before he breaks her heart!
ReplyDeleteOh dear! Was this really a wise move??
ReplyDeleteGreat work!
Best wishes,
Anna

I guess she's going to find out sooner or later that the grass isn't always as green on the other side.~Ames
