V-Day


from the ABC set My True Self, No Lies

Valentine's day- to me- is like lungs without oxygen.

Painful and unnecessary

Traipsing around all day, seeing young, loved up, couples, kissing, holding hands, and generally radiating love, is enough to make any lonely fourteen year old girl a bit depressed, or as my mum puts it; Moody.

For someone in love, none of that really matters.
But for someone that has to curl up in bed at night with old Ben&Jerry's: it can be quite upsetting.

I like this. It has a nice touch. It has humour for me, especially the last two sentences. very nice. perfect short tale. Congrats

Thanks BSJ, I wrote this whilst I was brooding earlier in the day, but I must admit, my day panned out rather nicely ;)
