How It Began and Ended by Tom Horonzy From Beginning to End writing prompt entry |
Do you remember when we first met? A moment in time I shan't forget. Your beauty was something to admire and awakened in me a great desire.
Did fireworks pop in your sky? I don't know, but I had a sparkler sparkling inside me. That was the night a second life began for me to grow from a boy to a man. It took a month to secure a date, but in the end, you were worth the wait for you did say, "I'll marry you ... if you'll be patient 'til I graduate. See, dad is selling cows to cover my tuition as it is one of his life-long ambitions for his children to earn college degrees. So, can you wait 26 months?" "Of course," I agreed, I could, but using my business acumen, I figured out it meant a delay of seven hundred and eighty days, which is inhuman to have a man wait that long to consummate a marriage. It was rather disparaging, but we both endured and were happily married in the end. "I am right, aren't I, dear?"
