The Broken Rose

Jun 3rd, 2025 by thegooddoctor in 100 Words

Scott retraces the events of that evening to understand what went wrong. Candles were lit. Dinner reservations at Jen’s favorite restaurant. A dozen red roses.

The evening now over, all his plans in ruins, trying to lay blame seems besides the point. Telling himself that he was innocent of any wrongdoing doesn’t change the fact that not only has his girlfriend of exactly five years walked out on him forever, but has also resulted in his house being destroyed and his car being driven over a cliff.

A single broken rose is all he has left to remember her by.
