The Broken Rose
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.

Who Am I?
by thegooddoctor in 100 Words
When my parents told me the news that I was adopted, it didn’t shock me. I knew that I was different. I have black hair and deep brown eyes, and both my parents have hazel eyes and blond hair. I was told I took after my grandfather who died before my time. Conveniently, no one had pictures.
I decided to track my biological parents. Now we’re meeting for the first time at their home, and I have a lot of questions.
I stood outside pondering whether to go in since I may not like the answers.
I turned and left.
