For Fandango’s Flash Fiction Challenge #175, based on the image below by snatti89 at DeviantArt.
Thought I’d write it as a quick hundred.
Thank fuck that’s done. Surprising how the toughies fold, soon you push the nuclear button!
All that waterworks, for god’s sake. I almost felt sorry for him. If he wasn’t such a manipulator, I might have even caved myself. He’s full of shit. Six months, wasted. At least now, I can get on with my life.
Lost without me? Get real! Just go, find yourself some other mug to control.
I hope Trish’s still on for tonight. I’ll enjoy letting our hair down without any claustrophobic men.
Where’s this tram? Hurry up, for chrissake; get me away from here.

There is that wonderfully liberating moment when someone makes the split. All the things they have probably been thinking for ages, and they are finally out there in the open.

You’re right. Somehow I thought, if this guy is as bad as she thought, that she’s not seen the end of him.
I like these hundreds because it’s a mighty challenge starting with something maybe 150-200 words and then simmering it down. But it’s probably more of a challenge for the writer, because the you inevitably have to cut some good stuff out.

I think it’s a great way to start any longer piece because it hooks the reader. This would be a great start to a novel or short story (hint hint)

Yes it’s a useful thread to start. I don’t think I’d like it though because it my immediate though was that it takes me toward domestic abuse, which would be an unpleasant write.
I suppose it would be a good twist if it was her abusing him. That’s something I rail about – that society always focusses on women as the vic.
But a novel is 80,000 words – this is 100!
