Here's my flash based on the week two prompt "she's whiskey in a tea cup", that can be found at themadimerek dot wordpress dot com /2014/12/flash-me-your-pretty-words-week-2
It was chosen as the winner!
Ragna and Lovelybrutal were wonderful enough to help me properly punctuate and I am forever grateful.
Thanks for reading! Enjoy!
How can I begin to describe the woman who has stolen my heart?
She's whiskey in a teacup.
She's private school, Ivy League privileged, living in a trailer.
She's got a sweet, soft, nurture-you-back-from-the-dead-side — the other sleeps with a loaded shotgun "just in case."
The lonely, boring nothingness, known as success, was her hell and nearly her undoing.
She wanted more. She longed to feel. She wished for simpler times and better days.
She stepped off the corporate ladder and onto my farm. She was holding my "help wanted" sign in her hand when she came knocking on the door. A duffel bag full of clothes and books was all she brought.
I've seen desperation many times in life, but never laced with hope like hers. I had to know her story, understand what made her light shine.
She's nothing I expected and everything I need. She taught my soul to dance and heart to soar. My love showed me the true meaning of living, and I've never looked back.
