Sara Speaks

Editor’s Note: Being a little pressed for time and having nothing else for Fiction Friday, I sat down with Sara to see where it would take me.


Sara:
Don’t stare at me like that.

Timothy Fish:
I didn’t realized I was staring.

Sara:
You’re just sitting over there running your finger around the top of your coffee cup, like you expect me to say something.

Timothy Fish:
That’s sort of the idea.

Sara:
Then what do you want me to say?

Timothy Fish:
I don’t know. I think I’m out of words. I was hoping you would say something.

Sara:
I can’t really say anything if you don’t say it first.

Timothy Fish:
True.

Sara:
Maybe I should start putting words in your mouth.

Timothy Fish:
That would never work.

Sara:
I bet it would. Here goes…

Timothy Fish:
Sara is the most wonderful person in the whole world. And she’s really pretty too.

Sara:
See? I told you it would work.

Timothy Fish:
I think that’s about enough of that. Say goodbye, Sara.

Sara:
Goodbye, Sara.

Timothy Fish:
Cute.
