Time again for the fabulous Friday Fictioneers. A 100 words (give or take) of fiction based around the photo prompt provided. My last few attempts have been quite deep so thought I’d lighten up a little this week. A change is as good as a rest, or so they say.

Outside, away from the crowd, he saw only her. She looked up, met his eyes. He wanted to move, go forward, touch her, but his legs were like lead, rooted to the ground.
It must be the street lights, he thought, as the tic in the corner of her eye raced faster; her hair lengthened, past her neck, then onto her shoulder. A shoulder suddenly wider, more muscular.
She turned and ran.
He watched.
He picked up the shoe she’d lost. He’d find her again. He knew it.
Turning it over he read the label –Male, size 14, xxx wide fit.
“She must have a brother”!

hahah did not see that coming! One oops ‘led’ you meant ‘lead’? line 2.
Thanks for that, I’ve quickly amended, lol 🙂
Very different for you. Very well written.
I was rushing this morning, so went a bit lightweight 😉
Wishful thinking at the end, I fear 🙂
Definitely 😉
That’s a twist. Love transforms, they say. Well told.
Enjoyed the turn at the end. Well done.
“She must have a brother” loved the ending
‘Tick’ in line 4 could be ‘tic.’ Other than that, Crocodile Dundee in New York. 😀
And I hear Lou Reed singing “take a walk on the wild side”
Eternally optimistic or further proof that love leads us to see what we want…
Gender identification becomes blurred! Well done.
I confess that I struggled a bit with this, Helen.
A small short-haired lady becomes a tall long-haired muscular man with an eye defect?
I’ll try again next week!
thanks for reading. It was a twisted Cinderella tale, beautiful girl turns out to be muscular dude, and not such a dainty magic slipper 😉
Whoops…. He should be very glad she ran! HaHaHA
