Standard: Chapter 2: The Proposal
For 2 years Marco and I have been together. Now I`m 25 years old. Marco is 29. He asked me to go on a swamp boat with him - on his own boat! A swamp boat is a river boat with wheels. Peaple who can`t drive use them. They are pretty much an auto-drive car. Couples love them. I couldn`t resist. In the boat Marco said "Anne, look over there!" He pointed out my window. I saw nothing. "Marco? I don`t see anyyyyy". In Marco`s hands was a ring. Purple, my favorite color. "Then again I can`t lie. Honest Anne,that's me." I said. In a loud whisper he told me, " The crop has grown.". I laughed for about 5 seconds then Marco said, "Will you marry me, Anne Vocoshitz?" I felt tears on my cheeks. Happy tears. I answered him in a chocked up kind of way, " Its Anne Bolt." We both cracked up and headed home......

Hola Isa,
ReplyDeleteWhat's your inspiration for your stories? I just read this short excerpt. I love the voice that is being communicated. Don't ever lose that!
Thanks!
ReplyDeleteI don`t have an inspiration. Only, I think I might. I just read ALOT! Those stories just fill my brain. I try to write a story like the book I read. Most belong in the toilet. This story actually came from a commercial from the movie Secrateriat. That horse thing. This was supposed to be about a horse named Standard. Thats why it talks about a farm. Turns out its about romance. I think its a romantic comedy. So, yeah. My stories just come to me.
Later,
Isa :)
