This story starts off written from the pov of the FMC looking back at the build up of the current state of her life. It then will move into present day first person pov where she navigates her life as the events unfold. I hope you enjoy my first short story!
BTW - I will consider alternate POVs with enough support from comments!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
It all started with a favor.
Well, maybe I should call it "The Favor" because it was such a pivotal, definitive favor, that gracing it with a definite article is the logical choice. I am desperately trying to focus on logic. I look back at the last couple of months, and I know that logic has both saved me from total emotional devastation as well as possibly led to the steep and steady decline of my — previous? old? Broken? — relationship.
Basically, I talked myself out of making a big deal out of, logically, minor issues when looked at independently. I allowed myself to look past my intuition and distrust of a certain someone and their interactions with my fiancé ... I mean ex-fiancé.
Shoot, not again. Not her interactions with him. He was not some innocent bystander. Their interactions with each other. What she did, what he allowed, and what he did.
It's amazing to me how such a seemingly innocuous sentence holds the power to cause so much pain. I hate how that sentence puts them together as a unit. But, that is illogical. A sentence does not cause pain. At least it shouldn't. A seemingly innocent favor on a Monday afternoon also should not cause pain, and it didn't; until it did.
Maybe breaking it down again, piece by piece will help me look at the big picture logically. Maybe then I can feel less illogical pain.
So yeah, let's start with The Favor.
