Stone Mask

“But, honey, I was SO drunk.  It’ll NEVER happen again!  SHE came on to ME!!  You’re everything to me, honey.”

Her face a mask of stone, she closed her suitcase and walked out.

    Sad for him, but smart lady. “It’ll never happen again” translates to “it’ll never happen again…until tomorrow when I’m drunk again.”

    Geez, I guess I’ve grown cynical reading all these ‘stone’ entries tonight :)

  2. Good for her! This story could have ended so differently.

    Great response to the prompt.

    Obviously a story he’s told once too often.
    A great take on the prompt.

    Damn straight! Way to go!

    This prompt was limited to the five letter noun stone. If you had been stoned, instead of drunk, the story might be different.

    Fantastic!Loved that she chose not to believe his lies & walked away:-)

  7. Punch! I think so many of us have cast that look before – for one reason or another. Ta Ta sleaze-bag :-) Loved this.

  8. Go. Even if it does never happen again, who wants to sit around wondering if it will? Nice job with the prompt.
