#068 Nate's Heartache

Lucky Draw [100 word stories]


Lost in thought, I fray the end of my heartstring; it’s become a nervous habit of mine. It was supposed to connect me to my soulmate.

You see when my mother was younger, she suffered a terrible heartbreak and vowed to never let me go through the same pain. She took me to a ‘fate’; a doctor specialized in cutting strings. To this day, I haven’t forgiven her.

There are 8 billion people on earth, a significant chunk of which are walking around with broken strings. Fortunately, I’m one determined motherfucker… Whatever it takes, I will find my fated partner.
