Today's post is my entry into this week's 100 Word Challenge, hosted by Velvet Verbosity. The 100 Word Challenge is an exercise in which we write exactly 100 words in response to the weekly prompt word. Click the link to read the other entries–good stuff over there!
This week's prompt was "obsession".
NOTE: This is an excerpt from a piece I have been working with for a while, I refined it to fit 100 words and still keep the general feeling.To those reading this who know me, no I am not a stalker. (Not that I haven't cruised an ex-boyfriend's house back in the day.) I was inspired by a story I saw of an obsessed mistress who followed her lover's every move. I couldn't help but think "who has time for that kind of thing?" I mean seriously, that is some kind of commitment. I can't even get to the gym every day.
I Think I will Stalk You
Drive by your house
just to see if you're there
Walk down your street
to exactly where
you work every day
your window, the blinds.
I know where you eat,
you're so easy to find,
Wait at the post office
you frequent each day.
Maybe the library
just down the way
From where you live
with your cute little wife.
Happy as can be,
she's living my life.
Yes, I'll walk down your street,
lurk at the corner,
drive by your house,
befriend your wife.
So I think I will stalk you.
And then I realize,
I have lunch plans.
