This year, for the A to Z Blogging Challenge, I'm writing Micro Fiction (or Flash Fiction) that is 100 words or less around a set list of words provided by my BFF (Kemari Howell). Today's letter is "N", so today N is for Neon.
Neon Impressions
The cameraman followed Nicole’s every move as she prepared
for the night’s date with Bachelor Number One, “Try to pretend I’m not here,”
He said.
“That’s easier said than done,” she smiled, curling her hair.
The night was a disaster—Bachelor Number One talked too much
about himself, insisted that they split the check, and put the moves on her in
the parking lot. In her reflection, Nicole said, “What a waste of time! I think
his shoes made more of an impression.”
“His shoes?” The cameraman asked.
“They were neon green.”
“No. My shoes are.”
“Oh.” She blushed.

That is very cute! I'm trying to visit all the A-Z Challenge Blogs this month. My alphabet is at myqualityday.blogspot.com
