I thought I should tell you, that your phone call this crisp, bright morning, saved my life. You know which call I am talking about, the one where you broke up with me, because you were too cowardly to do it to my face. It stopped me in my tracks, leaving me too breathless to cross the street, right as a speeding car ran the red light in front of me. So, I thank you from the bottom of my heart and with all sincerity – good-bye.

Great job on the prompt and good luck with NaBloPoMo. We are all 12 days in and so far so good.
thank you very much, and good luck to you as well!
Ha ha. I love it! That’s a great “other side of the break-up” short story. Well done.
thank you! I tend to look at the world a little outside of the box, which can lead to stories like this at times, blessings!
Sometimes bad news comes with benefits,,, sometimes.
we should all be so blessed, thanks for stopping by, Steve
Talk about being better off without them… makes me wonder if it wasn’t the ex driving the car!
