The Procedure

 by iambeagle

Summary:  With the memories of each other erased, their futures are bright. Promising. With their memories of each other eliminated, they are strangers.  

Author's Note: So stoked (and nervous) to share this new one with y'all! See you Wednesday for the prologue.

X ~ X ~ X

Some say love is blind.

Not me. 

Love is eyes wide open. 

It knows exactly what it’s doing.

Love knows how to get under your skin. Taint your blood. Burrow in your bones.

It’s not patient nor kind. It makes you blind. Love gives you a false sense of security before it rips you to shreds.

And it will.

I’ve heard about what it’s done to people in the old days. The heartbreak and the agony. I’ve read about the depression and the self-doubt it causes.

Romeo and Juliet. 

Heathcliff and Catherine.

Their stories were cautionary tales. 

Warnings of love gone wrong.

I must have lived through it before, too, but I don’t remember the details.

After the Procedure, we never do.

X ~ X ~ X

Remember to put iambeagle on alert so you don't miss out! The Procedure will begin posting on Wednesday, October 7, 2020. 

Flash Fic Friday

FLASH FIC FRIDAY IS BACK!

A big shout out to all those who flashed us in August! 

With all the craziness going on in the world, we wanted to bring some of the fun back from the fandom heydays with Flash Fic Fridays.

What’s a Flash Fic?

Basically it’s a spur of the moment, scene or story prompted by gifs, pictures, words, or quotes.

How does it work?

On Flash Fic Friday, TLS will post a picture prompt to the blog. Using the image, we are asking writers to submit 100-300 words ONLY – no more, no less. Please leave your submission in the comment section at the bottom of the post using this format:

- Penname

- Link to your FFN profile

- Your wonderful 100-300 words

Is this a contest/competition?

No, but we are hoping to inspire words from writers and smiles from readers during this period of social distancing.

So flash us!

Give us some dirty words with a side of sizzle. Make us swoon from sweetness. Or if you love angst, make it hurt so good.

Here’s the prompt I selected for this week. Make sure to incorporate it into your submission:

Happy writing!
XOXO
