Here we go with a little bit of romance and a whole lot of sci-fi!
Prompt is below. Let’s do this! (:
A woman has been dating guy after guy, but it never seems to work out. She’s unaware that she’s actually been dating the same guy over and over; a shapeshifter who’s fallen for her and is uncertain he’s going to get it right this time.
My example :
I’m almost ready to give up on dating altogether. This past year has been filled with the craziest dating stories I’ve ever heard, and they have all happened to me! And trust me, I haven’t been picky by any means. I’ve even dated guys that I knew weren’t my type, because aside from them being very convincing, I want to keep my options open. And how do you know what you truly like if you are too stubborn to try new things? Or new people in my case.
I’ve dated the farmer, the high-tech nerd, the corporate CEO, the factory worker, the truck driver, the DJ, the guy with the lawn company, the influencer, the gym rat, the jewelry store owner.
Today will be my eleventh date in twelve months. My New Years Resolution was to be open and boy have I accomplished that. But after this date, I am done. If this doesn’t work out, it’s just me, myself, and I.
Oddly, I don’t know much about my date tonight. He found me on an online dating site, and I thought, why not? How much worse could it possibly get? It’s almost Christmas and I’m in a pretty jolly mood. Where’s the holiday spirit if you don’t go drink some spiked eggnog at a Christmas Tree Farm with some stranger? Besides, afterwards we are taking a ride in a horse and carriage to look at the Christmas Tree lights. Say no more, I’m in.
Fingers crossed.
I’m a rack of nerves today. I can feel this is my last chance with Lexie. She’s everything to me.
I have never laid eyes on a more beautiful woman than her. I’ve never even remotely came close to finding someone as interesting as Lexie and her amazing mind. She’s the love of my life. Problem is, I can’t seem to figure out who she wants to be with. I thought I knew her type seven tries ago, but I’ve been way off the mark, clearly.
I already know I can’t go on if I don’t have her. I’d rather not exist.
I’ve been ten different types of guys with different personalities and completely different looks. How can I be sure I’ve chosen right today? The cliché thing would be to “be myself” but the problem with that is, I don’t know who I am. Being a shapeshifter kind of takes your identity away from you, you get lost in the different personas you create. I don’t even have a name. But I settled for the name Tyler tonight.
Oh God, what do I do? I can’t lose her, I can’t.
If the holiday spirit is real, please perform a miracle tonight. Whoever I am, I need one.
Will Tyler get it right this time? If so, will it be happily ever after as he performs as Tyler for her? Or maybe it doesn’t go right, and he decides to go to extreme measures, telling her the truth about his existence. Maybe she even helps him find himself and then they fall in love. Or maybe she’s even a shapeshifter too who has settled for Lexie. Or maybe, they were never right for each other and through Tyler’s heartache, he finds the one he’s supposed to be with. There are so many possibilities!
