I have been working on something incessantly for the last twelve hours. This ain't it.

Their love is so tragic. Written for Jess's 100-Word Challenge

10 Feet to Die By


“You can’t just leave, Lex.”

Ten feet to the front door

“It’s called walking away, Clark.”

Nine.

“I love you.”

Eight.

“That’s emotional blackmail.”

Seven.

“I learned from the best.”

Six.

“Clark.”

Five.

“Stay.”

Four.

“Why?”

Three.

“It’s your penthouse.”

Two.

“It’s your home.”

One and a half.

“No, it’s not. It never has been.”

One.

“Then why did you stay?”

Two-thirds.

“You were here. There’s no point in me being here if you’re not.”

One half.

“So I should just stay here? With you?”

No space left.

“That’s what I was trying to say in the first place.”

Even knowing it's a make up fic, my heart was pounding out of my chest. Scary countdown. Waaaaaay effective. Bravo!

*squeeb*

You rock so hard.

[ingridmatthews.livejournal.com]

Yes! Scary, but with a happy ending. *wibble*

It's like watching a magician, the way you work with limited words and space. Someday, I will find out how you do that.

I felt drawn in at the same time they were drawn together. Just outstanding!

Great story, cleverly written. Wow!

*sniff* <33333333. Is just so sweet. I'm incoherent in the face of the great eternal unbreakable love.

*loves*

So clever - you had me hanging on the edge of my seat for those 100 words. You even paced the words out for as long as possible. OK, I knew it was make-up fic, but I still worry with these boys!

I skipped a line by mistake and thought it ended badly! Aaaargh. I thought you were pulling the meanest trick *ever*, sneaking in a break up among all the makeups. Oh the trauma. But I should have had faith. Well done, as always.

Ouch and aww and you managed to reduce me to a sniffing fool with no decent vocabulary again.

[dammitcarl.livejournal.com]

what you do with so few words, zahra. beautiful.

[ethrosdemon.livejournal.com]

I really love the form of this. Even if the substance makes me PUKE.

lalalala
