“To
the Moon!” Katie
Scott came home early one night a
couple of months later.
“Hey, Babe, how’d you like to go to
the Moon?”
Katie was suspicious. “Why?”
“I’m working an outage up there, and I
thought you’d like to come along.”
“Is this some ploy to get me to have
that surgery?” she asked.
“I’ll be gone a full six months, and I don’t
wanna leave you here alone. Not as volatile as you’ve been, lately.”
“So you want me to go up there so you
can baby-sit me? I’m surprised you’re not telling me I have to move in with one
of my brothers if I don’t go.”
Scott was silent.
Okay, that
was more than six sentences. I trimmed
it as much as I could to get the point across.
Blurb:
Katie McGowan
is bi-polar, and she’s run the gamut of medications. Everyone is telling her she should go to the
Moon and have microchip surgery, but she’s afraid she’ll become an
automaton. In a last-ditch, tough love
effort to force her to get the chip, her husband, Scott takes her to the Moon and
divorces her when she decks him. Then she discovers she’s pregnant. She can’t have the surgery or take her meds
until after the baby’s born.
Scott is
elated when he hears he’s going to be a father and naturally assumes Katie will
take him back. He always intended to
take her back as soon she had the surgery.
He has no clue how badly he hurt her, how thoroughly he’s broken her
trust—or that he may not get her back at all.

Yes, i think you got your point across in the six sentences. Good job!
ReplyDeleteActually, it's closer to ten sentences. I just couldn't trim it any further. ;-) But thanks, JQ.
