Yup, it’s that time of the week again. I use a dirty word in this story. Oh dear. Will you ever be the same?
Okay, seriously, though, you can hear the other entries in this week’s challenge over at the 100 Word Stories site, and vote for mine (and any other deserving stories) there. You can listen to my story alone below, or you can use this link if the player’s borked (like in some feed readers). The background music is from NiN’s CC-licensed album “The Slip”.
Assholes have destroyed everything I want to say to you.
“You’re special to me. “
“I’ve never felt like this before.”
“I would do anything for you.”
They sound cheesy. They’re all true. But you don’t believe me.
I understand that. I know why you don’t believe me. I know you’ve been played before. I know they said all those lies to you.
I know.
They confessed.
They’re inside, chained to chairs. Every guy who has ever lied to you, who has ever hurt you. Here’s the knife. Do whatever you want to them. You choose. Anything.
Just believe me again.
