Waste a Moment


The first time, I thought he was joking. I laughed when he tried to stop me leaving. When he let my wrist go, it burned.

I dreamed about him for a month after.

The secrets turned him on; the greater the risk, the more he enjoyed it. The greater the risk, the more I needed it to matter. The more it mattered, the more it terrified me.

I almost made it stop, but the thought of not being close to him made me throw up. I thought about telling him, instead.

I never found the right moment because it was always too easy to leave.

Now, I can only sleep if I convince myself that one day I'll have a second chance.

Sooner, rather than later.

Well I never; you wrote a drabble! I like it - very evocative.

You should write more vignette type things.

Are you kidding? These things are more effort than a 50k novella.

Beautiful, and heartbreaking.
