Don't look at the word until you are ready to write. When your fifteen minutes are up and you have completed your ficlet, you may either post it as a response here, or post a link to the ficlet in your own journal. If posting on your own journal, please hide the prompt word in some way (ie. under an LJ-cut) in order to avoid spoiling it for others.

Today's word is: Want

You can copy and paste this code when posting your ficlet if desired.

Want



There's an idea in my brain which just won't
go - it's been sitting there the whole evening, waiting and doing nothing else.

We were having lunch together, you remember
how it tasted on your tongue, the salt and the pepper mixed, and then my
own mouth
you swallowed it all up.

There's a thought in my brain who's been sleeping the whole day and
sometimes it looks like it's going to wake up but
it never does, I think
it's poisoned.

Your mouth keeps moving but I can't hear the sounds anymore because
there's an idea in my head that started whispering
so loud it swallows everything else up and I think
you're probably not making any sense anyway.

We spent the morning at the restaurant, eating food that was probably out of date and we
swallowed it down
I remember the salt and the pepper and
the thought of your mouth, the idea of a kiss
that tasted like misery.
