The Roof Of The Rising Sun
“Wow. Some show the stars put on for us.”
Lena leaned back, checking to make sure Dave was there. She nestled against him.
“I don’t deserve y…” Dave started.
Lena found his mouth, kissing that sentence away.
Dave had survived many misfortunes until Lena stumbled upon him.
She hadn’t seen him. He was invisible, after all. He picked her up, apologized, and started to leave.
“Wait!” was all he needed to hear. They talked. Went on a date. More dates followed.
They’d been together for three months now.
The sun rose, beaming onto Lena, and through Dave, on the roof.

Author’s Notes:
Thus ends the Dave Trilogy. I hadn’t planned this when I wrote the first Dave story (Veiled Consequences), and it wasn’t until I wrote the second piece (One More Thing) that that drabble fit with the previous week’s. So, I knew I had to end it, somehow, this week. No idea how it would go until I saw the photo prompt. I had to live with that photo all day until I figured out what to do with it. Hope you enjoy.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
It’s #Friday Fictioneers prompt time, as always created and hosted by Rochelle Wisoff-Fields on her blog, Addicted To Purple.
The rules are simple if you’d like to do this:
-
- Use the photo on Addicted to Purple as your prompt (goes up on Wednesday).
- Write a 100 word story, complete with beginning, middle, and end.
- Make every word count.
- It is proper etiquette to give the contributor of the photo credit.
- Add the InLinkz button (below) so your readers can find the dozens of other bloggers who have taken up this challenge.
Epic love story 🙂

Good for Dave, Lena always sees right through people to find the true person inside.

I originally was going to end the piece with a version of “Aw, you see right through me.” Thanks, Iain.

I love the image of these “two” sitting on the roof, looking at the stars. Such a creative and mysterious tale, it’s hard to imagine this is the end!

Thanks, Jan. I don’t see it as an end, but more of a positive journey for Dave and Lena.

Dear Stu,
Nice that Dave has found love rather than ‘oversight.’ No doubt to a passerby, Lena alone on the roof, leaning her head on empty air must be quite a sight. 😉 Imaginative story.
Shalom,
Rochelle

Is Dave Lena’s imaginary friend on an adult level? Or does he really exist in some other realm? Hmmmmm.

I don’t think I was being ambiguous. I laid it out in my Author’s Note (just under the story). Dave was mentioned in the story with the lone prosthetic leg, followed up by the date (mentioned in this story). Sorry if it wasn’t clear.
