"The Splinter."
It hadn't been very long that the two had met. He had invited her to dinner one evening, and she accepted. She wasn't getting any younger, so she thought, "what the heck." Maybe he is "the one" in a world full of "not the ones." The evening of the dinner her girlfriend called and a terrible sadness. She had a broken heart, and the sound of her voice made the friend quite concerned. So she invited her along to the dinner. She asked the gentleman, "Would it be okay if I brought my girlfriend, she is in a terrible sadness?" He assured her that it would be fine. So the evening had arrived, and the two were on their way to have dinner with a stranger.
The dinner was lovely there was music, laughter, and good food. The conversation was deep and meaningful. They spoke about life, love, and tragedy. She appreciated how accepting the gentleman was with her friend that was nursing a broken heart. The friend went out onto the terrace to see the view. The gentleman snuck a kiss as they sat on the couch. She went to hold his hand and firmly squeezed it. "Ouch!" he yelled. She looked puzzled, "I am so sorry, I didn't know you had an injured hand." "Yes, I hurt my pinky finger this morning while I was surfing," he replied. With care and concern, she says to the gentleman, "I hurt my hand some years back, and it is important that you get a Splinter."
As the evening came to an end the stranger was a stranger no more. He walked them to the door and as he went to kiss her goodnight. She gently reached down and touched his hand, "Remember to get a splinter."

@mariannewest,
hahahahha
Come to think of it I think it is called a splint and not a splinter. "Oh well." It is my first day.
Glad I am not alone in realizing I messed up my writing after I already posted it! Great story though! Upped

I picked up some speed! I think this challenge is going to help me get better at steemit. My posts are usually too long and I am too slow. This is helping both problems!

This is my first entry. I never heard of Freewrite before and it sounded like it would be fun and helpful. You said not to fix any errors...right? OMG, I sure do not like that part. LOL! Thank you! : ) https://steemit.com/freewrite/@whatisnew/5-minute-freewrite-day-10-splinter
I know. It is hard :) But if we all start polishing what we do, it will take much longer than 5 minutes and pretty soon, it becomes too much. 5 min is doable - 15 or more, maybe not..... But you can always take a freewrite as a basis for a much more polished piece when you have time :) Thanks for playing!!
I agree that 5 minutes is best. I wouldn't change the substance after the 5 minutes but I do feel so much better knowing that I can "polish" it by correcting spelling errors. It is exciting to see what people come up with after just one word and 5 minutes. Thanks again! : )
