I Married Her
©November 5th, 2014
By Vijaya Sundaram
I was a broken man, and I was broke. My wife had left. I missed being loved.
One day, impelled by a whim, I awoke, and went to my car.
“Love me,” whispered Edsel-la. I looked at her then, saw her true soul, and fell in love.
I whispered sweet nothings into her carburetor, and stroked her yellow-painted cheeks.
She told me to make some changes, promising me untold wealth if I followed her instructions.
Laugh at me if you will. I did her bidding. I’m not broke anymore.
Tomorrow, my car and I are going to get married.

For some reason, I couldn’t get the InLinkz script to make a link to the other stories, and share the code. I guess it now needs us to log in. Please help, someone (do I need to make an InLinkz account, Friday Fictioneers?).
In any case, thanks to Rochelle Wisoff-Fields for sharing this strange and interesting photo-prompt for this week’s Friday Fictioneers (an online writing community that writes flash-fiction based on photo-prompts — for the uninitiated who might be reading my blog) . I did the best I could in my 100-word story. Hope you like it!
