Roanoke

Monkey Man's 160 Character Challenge is located here. Similar to the 100 Word Challenge, the rules are simple-write a story in 160 characters.

I'm going to take up the cudgel this week, and I call it "Roanoke".








It hadn't gone as I planned. As the roads rolled on , I looked out the bus window and thought. Was I too thin? Too fat? Too casual? Too distant? I didn't know.

  1. This is great. I've had those very thoughts myself. Why do we always beat ourselves up? Maybe she was too blind, too stupid, too shallow, too self-centered.

  3. Sometimes it just isn't meant to be. But, if you're on a bus, you're already moving on.
