There was a tale, the tale of two people who lived a life. A very complex one that only got more complex as they went along.
A man, who wanted a perfect wife—he was lonely after divorcing his other wife. He prayed to the ________ to see if ___ would grant him a perfect wife. One that was happy all the time.
A woman who believed she was ugly and worthless wanted to be the epitome of beauty and wanted to be perfect for her lover. She prayed to the _____ to see if ___ would grant her a perfect life.
Their souls were stripped from the planet and smacked into a state of bliss…maybe?
—to be continued—
What did you bring to the potluck?

Loved this short tale because so many men and women wish for this. It’s honestly so accurate. Women wish to be perfect and men want a perfect woman.

I’ve been debating on whether to finish it. It is fine as it is. I like writing about people, but this particular story has more to it but it’s not moving in a way that I feel like would work the way I want to show it.
