It was the winter of our discontent.The stage was set earlier in the heat of the
summer when we decided that it would be a great idea to relocate to the
hills.After all what could go wrong in
the rejuvenating mountain air? If nothing it would give our flagging
relationship the boost it needed.
So I ask you this, have you ever stayed inside a one-bedroom
cottage with a snowstorm raging outside and cut off from rest of the town,
while repairing a relationship?
Knitting helps
avoiding eye contact. Knit one purl one, snow melts and I’m done.

I've gone and put 50 selected Friday Fictioneers stories as a kindle e-book, Fridays On My Mind. My main reason for doing this was to provide some motivation to me to write longer stories. Doing Friday Fictioneers over the years has rekindled that spark in me which I thought I had lost. It made me write and submit short stories to other websites that got accepted and published. The 100 word format is making me craft my stories better (or so I like to think) and hopefully this might just be the start of the writing journey that I seek.
I love snow storms! I like the feeling of isolation from the rest of the world--- all alone in your own little igloo. For a day or two. And as long as the power doesn't go out.😄
That said, if they aren't going to talk and try to work things out, it doesn't matter where the are, a storm-lashed cabin or a sunny beach.
Well that certainly sounded the death knell for that relationship. They'll probably vacate in the mud of the spring thaw. Good writing, Subroto. Happy Holidays! :D --- Suzanne
I wouldn't put money on them emerging as a united partnership in the spring. Congratulations on getting your book together.
ReplyDeleteI think the relationship would have melted away by then. Thank you for your comments Sandra.
DeleteGreat story and implicit suggestion. Got to keep the wool and needles handy.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations on the book and best wishes for the journey ahead.
Thank you for your kind wishes Moon. I am glad you liked the story.
DeleteI guess it depends if their relationship needed more time spent together or more space and time apart! Nice take.
ReplyDeleteMaybe it could not survive being in constant contact. Thanks for your comments Iain.
DeleteLovely
ReplyDeleteThank you Neil.
DeleteDear Subroto,
ReplyDeleteI can't imagine the torture. Perhaps they'll find the silver lining in this cloud. Congratulations on the book. Hope it flies.
Shalom,
Rochelle
Thank yoy for your wishes Rochelle. I am happy if it crawls :-)

ReplyDeleteYay! the first buyer, thank you.
DeleteOh dear... 50/50 chance their relationship survives... maybe.
ReplyDeleteCongrats on the book!
I think maybe not. Thanks for your comments and wishes Dale.
DeleteFor me life in a cabin would probably do it... :-)
ReplyDeleteBeing in close proximity would do many in. Thanks for reading and commenting Björn.

True if they can't talk it does not matter where they are. Thanks for your comments Christine.
DeletePs: great job getting your book together.🤗
ReplyDeleteThank you.
DeleteI hope the knitting needles are not too sharp Subroto :-)
ReplyDeleteDepends on how close you get to them ;-) Thanks for reading and commenting Anurag.
DeleteSeems like they're making a bad situation worse. Not much hope for them, I'm afraid.
ReplyDeleteNo I think they are done. Thanks for your comments Linda.
