This week (Fiction) Friday has challenged us to write about our character stealing something then rationalising her actions
They weren’t hers to take but stolen kisses taste the sweetest.
She stole a lock of his hair while he was sleeping. Hers for the keeping,
and then she stole his heart.
She felt no guilt, no shame. After all he gave himself to her willingly.
Didn’t he?
Hi I am happy to be back. have to think about this one She stole his kisses but he gave them or not? Hmmm no than she mustn't feel guilty. Steeling locks of hair? Hmmm BTW I love the book on the top Keith Looks smart Have a nice day on the other side of the world
ReplyDeleteMmmmmmmm stolen kisses. I think I'll give this prompt a go too.
ReplyDeleteI love the music. Chopin by any chance? Oh wait, Schubert? Bugga, I'm sure I know it.
love willingly given... is there any other way?
ReplyDeleteShe sounds creepy and is likely to start boiling bunnies... beautifully crafted in a short space.
ReplyDeletewonderfully romantic and slightly erotic.
ReplyDeleteBeethoven Moonlight Sonata Karen!

ReplyDeletevery nice take,, expertly executed as well.....
ReplyDeleteI think - that after the lady steals a lock of hair. . . that free will is no longer in play. You did a nice, lyrical job on this one. Thanks for the read.
ReplyDeletei really like the question of the giving. nice work; very thought provoking
ReplyDeleteHmm - stolen heart literal or figurative? Very provocative.
