Rose Strailos Flash Stories - 6. Prompt: 7, 25, 53

Its butterflies in the stomach and smiles that carry a secret. It’s walking hand in hand, even if it in secret. Its soft kisses and softer looks. It’s holding each other close, no need for sexual intimacy every night.

Its giggles and laughs, even at the stupidest things. It’s forgiving after a big fight and compromise before.

Its life for the heart and soul that fills you up and never leaves you empty. It’s the light in the dark that I want in my life for always.

It’s the one thing that has a duel side though. It can cut and maim, leaving you sobbing and in pain. It can destroy you even as it rebuilds you.

But it’s always there just for you.

Prompt: Envy

It’s a greasy, disgusting feeling, making me want to scrub at my skin until it’s red and raw. It makes me see red as I watch them flirt with each other, smiling brightly and happily. They are so in love it’s disgusting. It makes me wrench even as I feel it slip into my heart.

I want what they have, and I want it now. I want to be the one pushing his hair out of his face with a loving hand. I want to be the one that was looked at like I was the best person in the world. I wanted that love to be directed at me.
I want it and I can feel the greasy, disgusting feeling amplify and make me rub at my skin.
