Sometimes life throws you a curve ball before you can throw one back.
Everything arranged to perfection, the invites were out.
The surprise party, a celebration of our fifth anniversary.
Today he dropped a bomb, he is seeing someone and wants a divorce.
The report lay unopened on the dressing table, I was finally pregnant.

Oh, I feel bad for the character. It doesn't sound like there's much happiness in store for her--at least in the near future.
I felt my stomach drop as I read it.
Oh my, for a moment I thought it was real, and was so frightened! The poor girl...
Oh my word you should have mentioned that it's fiction. I almost had a heart attack!
Thank god you mentioned the fiction part. I always find the limited word story has a lot more impact than a long drawn one
It was a bombing attack perhaps.
Nice.
Cheers,

SOunds like its going to be a really sad (but extremely juicy story!) glad it's only fiction though. :)
Happy weekend!

Rek, I hope this post was pure fiction.
:( That is quite the gut-punch; well done.

Wow, a curve ball indeed!
Talk about curve ball. Ouch!
Juicy story, Rek.
Dropping by to say hello! I'm a fellow campaigner in your poetry group. LOVING the layout of your blog. Look forward to following you!
Loved the history lesson. Also, thought each line made a great writing prompt.
Fellow campaigner here. Nice flash fiction. That poor woman, planning while suffering morning sickness. That husband sounds like a jerk.
Very evocative piece of flash fiction! I'm stopping by to say hi as I make my way through the scifi campaign list. Where did you get your lovely background for your blog? I imagine it is custom designed by you or someone else?
Heya! Stopping by to say hi from the campaign. Well, that certainly is a curve ball thrown up there if Ive ever seen one.
Hi there. I'm a fellow campaigner. Love the look of your blog. I have about seven Waterhouse framed reprints all over the house. Actually, I have La Belle Dame Sans Merci right here next to me in the den!
Oh, and nice fan fiction. Depressing, but well done.
Okay, now I'm good and mad and sad! Felt a whole gamut of feelings, mad, sad, hurt and disbelief, but betrayal was the worst. Good job with 55 words. Be blessed.

Glad you made it this far...would love to hear your take on the words scribbled. A comment every now and then keeps the blues away. :D
Since, crazy Mr. Blogspot won't let me reply to the comments here (is upset with the water ladies ever since they refused to verify visitors)...will do the next best thing, drop in to your blog to say my Vanakkam/Namaste/Salaam/Hello.
