Fickle Love

Here's my micro fiction piece for Three Word Wednesday this week:


Tom and Charles were sharing some good-natured banter while tossing a ball back and forth until Tom caught a glance from Sarah, causing him to fumble and drop the ball on his bare foot, which led to some undignified hopping around. By the time he looked again, Sarah was gone.

That's the way it goes with young love. I remember when my daughter and I were riding along a quiet street. "Look, Mom, "she said suddenly, "That boy likes me." Up ahead was a little boy riding a bike on the sidewalk. He turned around, saw her, and promptly fell off his bike. That's love in kindergarten.
