The woman, dressed in black, holding
the straps of her purse close to her heart waited patiently for the
figure on the otherside of the bridge. It was broad daylight, her
dress was dramatic and the heat beated on her delicate head as
punishment. He wasn't coming. Maybe god had finally punished her for
desecrating a blessed union, it didn't matter to her, the woman had
plans of her own. The park's bridge was elaborately designed,
hovering over a stream of water, a poor excuse for a gondala ride. It
was deserted, the park had been empty and sand the color of ash flew
constantly. The sound of a waterfountain distracted her, but there
was none to be found. Chatter of geese and ducks kept her looking
straight forward to her goal. Patiently waiting. He had become
frightened of her request the day before, as she begged him to
finally run away with her. She lingered on the expression he had
given her that day, and realized that there was no man at the end of
the bridge. Just a dream that had finally whithered away and had
taken along her soul with. She walked twoards the metal bridge, and
knew she couldn't drown. Though she wondered how sharp it would be
from the bottom.
Love what you did with this assignment. What a dramatic beginning of what I can only presume will be a wonderful romance novel. I want to read the rest.
