What it’s all about: Five Sentence Fiction is about packing a powerful punch in a tiny fist. Each week I will post a one word inspiration, then anyone wishing to participate will write a five sentence story based on the prompt word.

WILL YOU?

by John Yeo

The contented looking couple in their later years, a man and a woman, holding hands, matching strides.

Walking through a beautiful park, full of flowering trees and shrubs, with birds and wildlife in abundance.

Wilfred and Myrtle have lived together for sixty years, as friends and lovers, they have been through a lifetime of love and affection.

Wilfred suddenly turned to Myrtle, looked deeply into her eyes and asked; will you marry me now Myrtle, and make things proper?

Myrtle smiled, then laughingly said, don’t be silly darling, I will always love you without a fuss and a piece of paper.
