Skin

It’s time for Sunday’s Six Sentence Story over at GirlieOnTheEdge’s Blog. This week, our writing prompt is the word close.


There was a time when I felt so close to you it was as if we shared the same skin. Remember how we’d finish each other’s sentences, think the same thoughts and want the same things? You seemed like a dream come true; the love I’d always dreamed of.

It’s frightening how easily a dream can become a nightmare. One day when you thought I wasn’t looking, you shed your skin — just like a corn snake — and I saw the real you. The real you in the park, with your wife, 3.5 kids, and even the family dog.
