Josh and Joline -- a "Reader make an own" Prosery Write for dVerse
[Photo from my 2014 "Living on the Thames" post, URL] |
Joline had been invited to the party, “but come alone”, by her ex-college roommate. All girls he had surmised, why else come stag.
Lots of cars he had thought, driving in. He had wanted to see the roommate again too, he knew as he cracked open the door. Oops, he quickly closed the door. Joline on the floor, dancing with her first romantic crush.
Josh could take no more, last night nor this morning. Leaning over the rail, below and in the distance was coming his target, an 18-wheeler. Overhead ‘traffic holding its breath, Sky a tense diaphragm’ . . .

Oh no . . . don't stop here . . . what happens????
Gripping and heart-wrenching. Oh that poor guy.
You skillfully captured raw emotion in this great take on the prompt. Thank you for sharing!
You left us hanging over the balcony Jim.
Intriguing.
Much💖love
Not a place, physically or emotionally, one would ever want to find themselves in. I hope he doesn't do what I think he might do.
So full of emotion Jim, I hope he doesn't do anything stupid 🫢
Intense ending. Dramatic, Jim.
A tragedy waiting to happen... Love will do that to you! Well done, Jim.
With the name Jolene, I cannot stop thinking about Dolly Parton's song. Maybe the male perspective on the same story....
I’ve had so many bad nights myself, Jim, it was a relief to read about someone else’s! Poor Josh! I like the way you left the prompt lines until the end to create dramatic tension.
Cliffhanger!
