Prompt courtesy of Velvet Verbosity‘s 100 Word Challenge.
In her online dating profile, she described herself as a dusky ingénue. Coyote looked at the picture she provided and noticed it was mostly cleavage, a too bright smile outlined in too red lipstick.
He wondered if people bothered looking up words in dictionaries anymore.
Her favourite movies and TV were awful, the music was some kind of crap you hear at the clubs with long lines, trying to seem exclusive. Nothing at all under the book section.
Coyote had no idea why she messaged him. But she did. He had nothing planned so he agreed to meet for drinks.
Very crisp, no words wasted. You convey that sense of bored loneliness and ennui of an intellectual quite well.
Also, just ugh – the things we’ll do when lonely and bored.
hahhaha, yeah. Thanks for the read.
I don’t know who I feel more sorry for… the snob or the girl. ;-)
ahh the tug of mediocrity :)
At least the date can only go up (hopefully!).
Had nothing planned… the biggest door for a boring opportunity.
