 This is my 500 word story. Do you know how hard that is to do?


Out window shopping she was thinking "most boring day ever".

And In the distance he was thinking, "she's intriguing I think I'll check her out."

he wasn't about to let her slip away. She would be his harmony..

Excited he went from confident to awkward nerd. He knew he had to snap out of it before he could approached her. "Shake it off" he thought, grateful she hadn't noticed him.

He felt a power-surge and stepped back into his traditional self. Confident that the awkwardness was behind him he took a quick look at his reflection in the window, then turning back he saw her walking to the beach. Now he felt like a stalker. But she was too captivating not to stalk.

Still bored, she was glad she wore her wraparound skirt over her swimsuit. She found her favorite spot on the beach. Used her wrap-around skirt as a towel, and laid back to read her book.

The man she thought was a nerd had grown taller and was walking toward her.

She liked what she saw. Surprised how close he was, she rebelled, "are you stalking me"?

Deep voice, "stalkers don't approach their victim. I saw something very intriguing so I followed you."

When he took her hand to help her up, she thought, "Pied Piper."

She felt so alive and excited she knew that very moment, she would follow him anywhere.

They walked toward the shore where music was playing. Without warning he very smoothly spun her around facing him.

She loved the way he was leading the dance. Taking advantage of the dip, he held her there. Deep voice, "When I say stop, freeze and don't move."

Feeling excited, "Yes sir," she said, because she didn't know his name.

Still dancing, he put her hands together and raised them high above her head, "STOP"! Then let go of her hands. He loved the simple way she held the pose.

He took out his phone and said, "I will tell you what dance moves to do, and watch you dance. Can you do that for me?"

"I'd love to dance for you," she shimmered.

With a crowd growing around them and weak knees, she beautifully danced every move he told her to do.

Alive and content they watched the video, he set down his phone and pulled her up into a hug. (The crowd that was still gathering, could feel the electricity.)

At that moment he knew he would never let her go, and she still knew she would follow him anywhere. With clouds rolling in he said, "I don't want to stalk you, can we make this a date, there's a restaurant over there?"

But when he raised her hands and kissed her lips, lightening struck them, leaving only their bodies, a glass heart made from sand, and the beautiful video on his phone, which bystanders posted, telling of their unique love which became the first original u-tube 'modern day' fairy-tale.
