Chalk and Cheese
Trevor should have been names Rover, for he liked to wander. One day he just wandered out of her life. So slowly but surely Judy removed his stuff, plastic planes, model trains, last to go would be his TV, she had never liked how her and his life was dominated by his watching any live sport going. Now she was following her own dreams, she had joined the local senior citizen reading group, and had found a local artist who was teaching her to paint, and how to live again. She purred and stretched, sex was good again.

There is hope after abaondonment!
In this case that seems to be so, but time will tell
Dear Michael,
Good for her.
Shalom,
Rochelle
It is long over due for her I think
I’m glad she recovered and created a new and better life. Really terrific ending lines 🙂
Linda thank you, I often do forget about the need to fashion an end to my flash writing
Well done Judy! Great ending to this one Michael 🙂
Iain thank you, I do often neglect to consider the ending when writing flash,
Now I’m imagining Rover as a dog and her as a cat. Either way, glad she’s making the best out of the new situation.
When I started writing this flash I was tempted to write a story around a cat and dog.
New beginnings.
I do hope so
“Now she was following her own dreams, … and how to live again. ” It’s never too late to start again. I’m happy for her. Good story of revitalization of a soul.
I do like the idea of a soul being revitalised
good move for her. better late than never.
That is true.
Good for her! And a great last line.
I was not sure about the last line, so I thank you for supporting it
There’s nothing better than being yourself.
That is so true Reena
A new beginning and deservedly so!
I agree with you Keith
A fresh start – no more of his junk, and no more TV sports. No wonder she’s happy. Well told.
Thank you Margaret,
A brighter horizon now.
That is true Sandra
It’s not easy to pick oneself up after a breakup. Focusing on the positive surely helps.
That is true, but often difficult
I’m glad that she turned her life around after Trevor wandered away. Great last sentence, ‘Sex was good again.’ Few of us would have dared write that, and it really works well. It has just a frisson of shock.
Penny, I was so grateful for your feedback, it was appreciated.
