The Ins And Outs of Love
They lie on their backs in her garden, watching the storm clouds roll by. It was Kate’s idea, she saw it in a film and hopes Sam will think her quirky, cool and romantic. Sam thinks it’s weird, but stays because he’s hoping for some action.
Kate is in love; Sam is in lust.
He makes his move…
Kate is inexperienced; Sam is in luck.
Her clothes slide off and he slides on…
Kate is in the buff; Sam is in Kate.
Something’s happening deep inside her…
Kate is in trouble.
Sam is in a taxi, heading out of town.

I love the way you wrote this, very clever! It’s sort of a poem.
This is quite a common scenario, methinks.

El, Funny, but not for Kate. That was conception and desertion at high speed. It looks like the baby should arrive at any moment. Well written yet again. 🙂 —Susan

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!! Hilarious! The laughs started for me at Sam’s wanting some action. You took no prisoners this week.
The style reminds me of the old rhyme, “Papa loved Mama, Mama loved men. Mama’s in the graveyard, Papa’s in the pen.”
Bravo!

thanks Kent – I love your laughter 😀
Loved the rhyme too!

They loved my actual laughing at the screenplay table readings. One professor asked, “Did you hire this guy?” and the girl who wrote the funny script said, “No, but I certainly WILL next time!” 😀

Ha well done, I enjoyed the read and the laugh. Cleverly written and an apt title to boot.

Thanks Maree. I was pleased with the title this week, it’s something I often struggle with.

Cleverly written, honest, and taken from life, but I didn’t think it humorous as some of the others did.

It’s an odd sort of humour, probably not the laugh out loud sort. Glad you enjoyed it anyway 🙂

Very clever with the Ins and Outs… The intro seems a bit out of place — I think you could make this whole thing fit the In and Out pattern. Well done.

Dammit! You’re absolutely right and I knew it before I posted it. It’s half of one thing and half of another but I liked both bits and couldn’t bear to kill either one. Well spotted 🙂

Dear EL,
Soon little bit will be OUT and paternity suit (hopefully) should be IN. He he. .

Dear El,
Loved the story. Kind of agree with Helena though. Still brilliant. Good job.

Thanks Doug
I agree with Helena too – I just really liked the intro. If I had more words I would have had a longer paragraph between each of the ‘in’ lines so the intro wouldn’t have seemed so out of place, but couldn’t make it work in a hundred words.

Enjoyed the rhythm of this one. I, too, loved the intro – as my editor says, maybe it would work better somewhere else. At least it’s not an entire chapter! Alicia

I like the intro, but agree with what Helena is say. All in all, it’s a cute little tale of lust and misplaced love. A true story that’s happened many times over the centuries.
