About unrequited love and goosebumps

I usually write about hummingbirds and sunshine. But Spooktober cometh, so I gave my writing a noir-ish turn.

I wrote these as four separate ten-word stories. But they seem to go together.

  1. She’s impeccably coordinated. Her little black dress matches her heart.
  2. When and if I propose, could you please say, “NO!”
  3. She laid him where he could push up the roses.
  4. Whaat? Risen so soon, Philip? You went in just yesterday!

Do you think these stories fit together? Please let me know in your comments.

Thanks for reading! 🌻🌼
