Other Star-Crossed Lovers

Having undressed in hurried, solitary passion, he sat before her, his fingers splayed in expectation. She tried to disguise the look of disgust that ravished her face, so picked at a nebulous piece of lint, feeling overdressed.
“What’s wrong?” he asked, his naked plea a demand.       
  The challenge is to write a complete story in only three sentences.

  3. Wow. You packed a lot of story in three sentences. But you cleverly left a lot of questions unanswered. Please write more.

  11. As I read this all I could think of was thank God I've never experienced such a discomforting scene. Sounds dreadful! When you engage a reader so intimately (pardon the pun), you know it was a good piece of writing....
