31 Day Writing Challenge: Day 9 (late) - 'Phones'


Samsung? Maybe. Apple? Preferably not. Windows? Definitely not. Oh, Sony Xperia, I've heard good things about them. Might be worth getting one of them. Hmm...

Millie stood casually perusing the phones, killing time before meeting Dara. She had been considering changing phones recently, but as her phone was still working fine, she was in no rush to make a decision or purchase, and was therefore only looking for ideas.


She was momentarily lost in the numbers involved in describing phones, when he got Millie in his sights. Millie knew almost instantly, she didn't need to look. She could sense his eyes on her and then him beginning to approach. God, she could not be bothered with this. All she wanted to do was look at the phones, quietly and on her own. She could feel him stalking closer, knew it was only moments before he forced an encounter. Why her? Couldn't she just be left alone? She wasn't looking for this, didn't want it. Millie still wouldn't look in his direction, hoping if she didn't engage, he wouldn't either. She knew full well from experience this wouldn't work, it was going to happen. And it would happen in: 3...2...1
