The Fountain: Chapter One

I swirled what was left of my beer in the glass and made a clicking sound with my tongue. “I don’t know what to tell you man.” I finally said. 

Matt hung his head in disappointment. “God dammit.” He groaned. “I’m an idiot.”

I shrugged and took the last sip of beer. It was a good excuse to keep my mouth shut. As if I was going to agree with him and tell him, yes in fact, you are an idiot. You let the woman of your dreams, an absolute smoke show, slip though you fingers because you are an untrusting idiot. I swallowed my drink, kept those thoughts to myself and gave Matt a reassuring pat on the back as stood up and went to the bathroom. 

The Fountain: By Jennifer Greene


 Pardon the bad Photoshop. It was something that I mocked up really quick in order to zchuzh up this post. 

Over the last few weeks, I have been working on a "short" story that I am very excited to share with you all here. Over the next few months, I will be posting a new chapter bi-weekly until the project is completed. 

"The Fountain follows the story of Andy Sanders, who's life is unexpectedly turned upside down by a drunken wish made by his friend Matthew. The Fountain aims to show the realistic emotions and reactions one might have when faced with an otherwise fantastical event."

Chapter One will be immediately available following this post!
