Over the past six months, I’ve done a poor job keeping up with regular posts, but I’m working on some creative projects and trying to do a better job posting here as well. So today I’m revisiting a Friday Fictioneers post from this fall. I can’t post to the Linkup at this late date, but you can visit the original stories here. The photo is courtesy of Ted Strutz, whom you should also visit as he’s a decent guy with whom I like hanging out on the interwebs occasionally.

Getting off the Merry-Go-Round
“It’s not my idea of a good time.”
“Why go every year then?”
“Tom likes it—says he needs a break from the routine.”
“So go on a vacation.”
“We should. I need a break—from routine and the state fair.”
“Does he know the reason?”
Lindsay shrugged. “He knows what happened. I don’t think he knows where.”
“You should skip the fair this year. Book a weekend at a bed-and-breakfast instead.”
“You think he’ll understand?”
“He’s a good guy. If you tell him why, he won’t keep dragging you back to the place where you were raped.”

Dear MG,
Yep, it’s past time to tell Tom. It might be tough for him to hear it but if he loves her he’ll process it. Well done.
Shalom,

Thanks, Rochelle.
