This Week's Theme: Tell a story that unfolds through text messages. You can change text messages to any form of message that is short and often cryptic.

A very special Fiction Friday today - not the story, but the fact that it is the 29th of February! This is not the story I wanted to do today, this is one I tried last night. I'm not overly happy with it, but the other idea I've had is more complex, and I don't have the time to do it in time for the deadline today! As the prompt allows, I've changed the text messages to another form of message that is short and/or cryptic - comments on an internet site. Hope you like.

THE CONFESSIONAL
I don't know why I'm writing here, I guess I need the chance to say the things I never could. I wasn't strong enough. I couldn't be what you needed me to be, or what I wanted to be for you. It's my fault things didn't work out, I just never had the chance to tell you.

I'm sorry, and for what it's worth, I still love you.

Crazy and v. scary! There is no fate except the one we make for ourselves. I don't believe in that kind of coincidence. Would like to, but don't.
