Can you tell me what the objects below are called?

 





Flash Fiction. 150-word story

If you had written this story, what would you have done differently?


The Odd Couple

They were pretty strange. Both of them. She wore red from head to toe. Her hat was red, her shoes were red and so was everything in between.

Her husband looked like a beggar, but what surprised me the most was the fact that he didn't speak at all.

They are trying to tell me.

All because my thoughts

Are somewhere else.

Somewhere far away.

Painful thoughts.

Obsessing, 

Circling

Something 

That is not real.

Something I'll never have.
