Coffee Break: 100 Theme Drabbles

by Alicia Blade

I happily present to you 100 drabbles, stories based around a particular, abstract theme, and often recognized for their short length. Short on time? These can easily be read during your coffee break. All UsaMamo first season.

20. 59 Unrequited Love

Okay, Jo-chan started it by saying that originally a "true" drabble was only 100 words, so of course I had to TRY. Though there probably won't be many of these. (It's harder than it looks!)

59. Unrequited Love

100 words

She felt him every moment of every hour of every day. It seemed like he had some invisible clone who walked beside her everywhere she went, who knelt at her desk throughout the school day, who snuggled beside her at night. She would wake beside him, seek out his warmth, beg him to cradle her and kiss her and make promises that she would soon realize did not exist. They were her own whispers filling her ears. Her own desires encompassing her heart. Her own dreams giving her solace and love and comfort.

And yet she felt him every moment.
