Time again for Flash Fiction for Aspiring Writers. So grateful to PJ for hosting this weekly challenge. This week’s photo prompt is provided by Enisa…thanks for it.
Please follow lil froggy for more stories:)
Here is the photograph and my story:
Everything had happened so quickly for us. Not a planned out courtship but a fast and feverish one, fired with the hope of victory and freedom.
One morning I looked out our apartment window and watched him walking to work. I glanced at my high tech watch. Same time every morning. He was carrying the duffel bag he brought with him each day. The one I’d packed with so many of his lunches.
I watched him; remembering the conversation I’d had with a few members of our covert group last night. The meeting had been hastily convened. I watched him and cried.
Once it had been discovered he was against us and using me, I had no other choice but to kill him.

Thanks. Sometimes I get a little dark – right in the middle of a paragraph. Shocks even me.

Nothing wrong with dark.

I agree with Varad. Spies and romance don’t mix and in this case she has to kill him. Great story, Ellespeth! Very chilling!

I’d think not. I do like a man in a nice trench coat though.
Thanks for reading and commenting.

Being a spy and finding romance is never easy. Nice little thriller.

Probably not, but the romantic in me had to try…reality won in this piece 🙂
Glad to see you survived the a-z and welcome back.
