Five Sentence Fiction - Inspire


Lillie McFerrin's weekly Flash Fiction prompt


This weeks prompt is the word 'Inspire' - this is where it took me.


“Inspire me!” She whispered in my ear, which made me stop and pull myself up on my arms so I could look her in the face. “What?” I asked; confused by such a request, which wasn’t along the lines of the usual dirty talk I was used to getting this far into a gig.

She gave a heavy sigh and looked irritated, her tone confirming it as she said, “Look, I’m not paying for some quick jump here, I want it good, I want it to move me, and I want it to be beyond exceptional, okay?”

I raised my eyebrows at her, thinking about what she was asking for, and what I was prepared to give, and replied, “Sorry lady, you’re good, but you ain’t THAT good - and I ain’t the exceptional type.”

I rolled off the bed and pulled up my trousers, her open mouth demonstrating that people didn’t normally refuse her, so I left her with some words of advice; “If you want to receive something in this world, you have to be ready to give it first.”

  4. Thanks for you comments - but picky? I think she is asking just a little too much, as as he said, he is not the exceptional type! LOL
