A while ago I did an experiment in precise writing with ficlets of exactly 100 words and it was so much fun and I felt so accomplished that I decided to do it again. But I get bored looking at my own stuff, so... here you go. We should all be able to come up with 100 words in a week's time, right?

Post your fics as comments to this entry, or post them in your own journal and link to your story below. Feel free to do as few or as many as you want, and if you read one, be sure to leave a review or a comment. Everyone's welcome, so spread the word.

You are a temptress. Just sayin'.

If it were about love, everything would be simple. But it's not. It's about trust and certainty. When he takes that late-night phone call and leaves her alone and heartsore in the middle of the night, she lies there not knowing where he is or what he's doing. Even if she'll ever see him again. She needs more than this, more than empty love. That he can't see that is the reason it's falling apart. She knows as she watches him go that it can't last.

If she leaves, it'll break his heart. If she doesn't, it'll break hers.

Awww. I don't know who's talking, but I can guess who she's talking about.

♥ Her name's Nancy. It used to be Nancy Sheppard but unsurprisingly, it's not anymore.

Ooh, I don't know the fandom, but this is sad and beautiful. *hugs*
