Every week, Rochelle Wisoff-Fields (thank you, Rochelle!) hosts a flash fiction challenge, to write a complete story, based on a photoprompt, with a beginning, middle and end, in 100 words or less. Post it on your blog, and include the Photoprompt and Inlinkz on your page. Link your story URL. Then the fun starts as you read other peoples’ stories and comment on them!

Leaving
It’s little things that betray her. She’s wearing perfume. When I ask how her day has been, she says, “Oh, you know…” She’s not telling me where she’s been in her car. She’s happy.
And I’m not.
I provide for her, protect her. All I ask is that she puts me first.
So be it. She’s using her car to cheat on me; her car will end the affair. Last night I made a pinhole in the hydraulics.

“You’re leaving him? Thank goodness.”
“Yes. Tomorrow. Thank you for so much support, Jenny.”
“Take care as you drive home, Sarah.”
