Once again, it’s time for 100-word fiction I really love the challenge set by Tara each week, and of course, the challenge of sticking to 100 words.
If you want to play along here’s the link to Tara website, Thin Spiral Notebook.
This week’s challenge is EYES.
So here’s my effort:
Her mother had told her always to look into the eyes of the person being introduced. This would tell that person she was really interested and you could tell about a person by looking into their eyes.
But now that she knew him she saw that his eyes rarely looked at her. He was always looking around the room for the next interesting person to catch and when they were alone his eyes still wandered, looking at a book, the TV, never at her.
Perhaps she should have listened more intently to her mother. Had she missed an important step?
To see what Tara and others have written for this challenge, go to Mr Linky. Then write your 100 words and link back so that others can read your effort. Enjoy!
I choose how I will spend the rest of my life 
Excellent!

Don’t we all know people like this? Those who also never ask us one single question? Mom was right!

I never trust someone who won’t look me in the eye. Makes them seem too shady.
