Inspired by a recent post I saw containing two sentence horror stories I thought it might be interesting to see what we could come up with. I’ve elected to expand the format so horror isn’t the only genre. The Rules: 1. Make up a story with only two sentences. Succinct storytelling is the goal here so try to avoid run-ons. 2. Do you mind if we call you Bruce to minimize confusion? 3. Have Fun and get typing! I awoke last night to the comforting sound of the regular, even breathing of my spouse behind me. She passed away three years ago. Your turn! ---
