Two Sides of A Coin

Six sentence story prompt – text

People go through midlife crisis differently, regardless what’s their choice of vice or destruction, they are just fearful and dissatisfied people.

Hers were breast lift, weight loss and sexting, while his were asset acquisition, sports cars and white powder.

She had been chatting to her few regular flirts who were her son’s age on Snapchat while getting her pedicure done in the overpriced salon, of course she missed a few incoming calls, until a text message notification came through, “Mrs Jenkins, this is Doreen, I am one of the social workers from the Emergency Department, Royal Northshore Hospital. Would you kindly return my call regarding your husband Marvin on 88786719? Thank you.”

Her heart sank at the thought that he’s dead. Then a thought came into her mind that lifted her spirit up. If he is wheelchair bound, he’s gonna be mine again.

  12. “…they are just fearful and dissatisfied people.”

    your final sentence makes it tempting to think that rather than ‘money’ it its fear that is the root of all evil.
