Prompt: write a short story using monosyllabic words only
Jim is a nice guy. Jim is a great guy, in
fact. Jim loves the gym, his wife, his kids, and his blonde wig. Jim wears
the wig once a week. At 11 pm at night once a week, Jim goes to the Y
and plays ball with his pal, Don. Or so he says. In fact, Jim is in
the john at Taco Bell. He goes to the back and hides in the john and looks at his
face in the screen. He loves his blonde wig just like he loves his wife. He
loves his blonde wig more than he loves his wife. Jim wants to be
Jane. Jane would be blonde. Jane would be hot. Jane would be what Jim is
not.
Jim saves a small piece of his check each month. It is
the Jane fund. Jane was the name of his first girl. Jane was a nice girl just
like Jim is a nice guy. Jim met Jane at school, in math
class. Jim was just a young lad. Jim thought Jane would be
his girl. Jane was his first girl. He sent her sweet treats and made love to
her. He poured bleach on her plump, round breasts. He rammed a drill up her
pale pink cheeks. Jane was gone and all that was left was her blonde hair.
Which now hangs in the back of Jim’s shoe rack. Gone from the sight of his
wife and kids, just like Jane is gone from the sight of all on Earth. And by
the way, Jim just won Dad of the year at his son’s school.
