The Waiting Game (A Fastfood Fiction)

She was happy to find someone to talk to. Sure he was miles and miles away but he was nice and sweet and smart and he made her laugh. They'd been chatting at about the same time everyday until one day when he didn't show up. She waited and waited. She waited until she felt stupid for waiting. She then decided not to wait anymore. So the next day, she pretended not to wait. She was on invisible mode. She watched a movie while not waiting and laughed on the funny parts. She thought of how he would also enjoy that movie and how they could laugh together. Just before the movie ended, there was a notice that he had gotten offline. Then she regretted pretending not to wait.

  2. Hey, that's funky! Tragically romantic, but short and (bitter)sweet so I don't need to read through miles of flowery bullshit to get to the point.
