Bestfriend:

Oh, oh, that one would be perfect me!

Wait, there’s another sparkly one! But the price tag’s too much so maybe not that one.

Hey, where are you going now? Didn’t you tell me you’ll buy a ring this time? What happened to your pep talk of planting your own garden and picking your own flowers?

Oh, I guess you really didn’t want to buy the ring yourself, huh? You’re still hoping he’ll buy it for you and surprise you with an elaborate plan of hiding it on a dessert when you go out for your anniversary dinner later tonight.

News flash, it’s not going to happen. The guy didn’t even remember it’s your anniversary, you had to remind him with a text just an hour ago and there wasn't even a text back. You should be watching movies for the hardboiled minds instead of romcoms.

Cupid:

Well, the guy did remember. He bought you the ring and was planning a romantic dinner.

Death:

Luckily, I was on time.


The prompt was crudely inserted. I've seconds to spare and needed to end it fast. lol

wow! That's tragic!

It seems I've a penchant for dark endings. :D

Hey, sometimes we have to insert the prompt somewhat crudely! 5 minutes isn't much time. I think you did a great job with it, actually! Hardboiled minds was a hard prompt and you did great!

Thank you! I appreciate it. :)

Boy do I remember a guy who used to forget my birthday and stop and buy a card on the last minute at the convenience store down the road. Good job with the freewrite! I didn't get to hard-boiled minds, unfortunately!

Men are a forgetful lot I must say. hahah! Thank you. :)

awwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwweeeeeeee

Death:
Luckily, I was on time.

You broke my heart!!!!!!!!!!!

GREAT, GREAT freewrite!!! :D

Wow. Thank you @snook! Honestly, I didn't mean it to end that way. But I found death to be the most convenient ending, especially when the 5-minute clock's ticking. :D

A freewriter has to do what a freewriter has to do to make their story!!
:D LOLLLLLLLL

That was well done. That lost line twist!! wow!
