Sunday Six: A Chance Encounter

[foobar137]

Each Sunday, post six sentences from a writing project — published, submitted, in progress, for your cat — whatever.

 

Today we have a piece of the Calvin & Hobbes story I started this afternoon. Ten years after she moved away, Calvin has just run into Susie, now going by Sue, at a café near her college campus.

 

She sat, waving him to a seat at the table. “Something like that. Calvin, this is Kristin, my roommate. Kristin, this is Calvin, the boy I was telling you about from when I used to live here.”

 

He looked at Kristin, concerned. “Uh-oh. That sounds ominous.”

 

Kristin laughed. “Nah. Apparently you were kinda cool but weird.”

 

Calvin sagged in relief. “That’s…better than I would have ever expected.”

 

Sue shrugged. “You left an impression on me.”
