story in 5 minutes, part 2

Ok part 2…

I was not expecting comments wanting a part 2, due to the speed and poorness of the first part…!! But I cave in under weighty demand! (Well maybe not weighty)

(Again this idea is borrowed from my friend Jim; please check out the 5 part story and others on his page!! (Link from my homepage))

Ok here we go then,

Timer on again at 5 minutes….

The man paced around his apartment, it was a meagre flat really, simple in structure, a dividing glass block wall, and average 3 pieces. Nothing of note, really, but he regarded it as home.
He was not sure how long he had paced, or what to do... it had been a long 2 days he thought as he glanced out of the window, the view just skimming the roofs of the shabby suburb were he lived, he noted there was going to be a storm, like his mood really...

It had started so mundanely, he had gone for a drink… a drink. After work, what had happened was 1 drink turned into 2 which turned into quite a few, and the rest he was trying to download through his hazy memory…

He remembered a conversation with a girl, nothing special, just talking, drinks were bought, and they had a laugh and a joke,
He remembered phone numbers being shared, and he left…. He left alone...
The problem had been the text message early morning... NO the problem had been his girlfriend of some 4 months 23 days ( she liked to remind him) picking the phone up and reading the message as he slept…. He remembered shouting , a bag being hurriedly packed, and doors slamming, before he had chance to come to his senses, and clear the alcohol haze from his head..,

He had read the message, asking to meet again if he was free… Ohhh no, his calls to his girlfriend unanswered for 2 days now…..

Ok stop!!

Now please I need others to try this little experiment... Come on blog in 5 minutes or as close as you can!!
