Friday Fiction: 100 Word Challenge

New Years marks a challenge all its own. Resolutions to be made, most to be broken or forgotten. However, some may come to life-changing fruition. Use this image and 100 words. Make one of your resolutions to write along with us all 2019.

“It’s almost midnight” she said “Our friends in …”

“They’re not really our friends. We’re just used to hanging with them. Three years beyond college and nothing’s changed.”

    She smirked at me. “I’m with my best friend, it’s New Year’s and I have a sparkler. That’s good enough.”

    In spite of it all, I laughed. “Happy New Year’s then.”
