A woman of perfection

by ranfuchs @ 03/05/2008 - 16:19:57

It’s not the cheap beauty that sells magazines by the millions; but whenever she floats by, leaving a scent that awakes long forgotten legends, no man can resist turning his head for a second look of admiration. If you are amongst the lucky with whom she exchanged a few words, it’s not unusual that you will not remember her words, but only your own yarning to see her eyes smile, even if only for a flash of fantasy that fades into a short sigh of realization that a goddess is beyond your reach. Yet, nearly every night you will find her in the little corner pub, on her own. Because only when she drinks, can she care about those meaningless words of those whose heavy drinking instilled enough confidence in their hearts to approach her. Only when she drinks can she finds them interesting enough to cope with a night of lonely lust, from which she hopes to wake up in an empty bed. They often stay too long.

A woman of talent and perfection; tonight you will find her again in the little corner pub, drinking, hoping that this will be her last night there.

There is little, if any, relationship between writing and life. All the rest is speculation

All writing comes from life.
Where else???

She needs another drink before she can take any of this seriously.

"should" is a word I seldom use, and it doesn;t sound if she would employ it much either.

An intriguing piece of flash fiction.
Or the opening of a longer piece?
Sorry, I'm starting to sound like my writing tutor.

no opening. No plans for anything longer

No need. It reads fine as it is.

I found it touching...a little too close perhaps in parts...but it was gentle and perceptive writing.

glad you like it. I value your comments (even when they are critical :) )

I meant...a little too close for comfort....for me...I saw some of myself..
I was not being critical at all...
