The Rumour
Write a short story that centres around the spreading of a rumour.
The Rumor
We were happy
We had eachother
You were funny and kind
I was supporting and brave
We were happy
I was happy
Out of the blue
You had ended it
I thought you were a jerk
You ghosted me
A year has passed
I had just found out why you did this
A stupid rumor
I thought that we meant more
Than other’s words
But apparently I was wrong
I was right to think that you were a jerk
The rumor was
That I was
A player
A flirt
You have got to be kidding.
You couldn’t tell me why to my face
You told my friend
Who told me the rumor
You could think I was a flirt
Or a player
But that means that I can think
Whatever I want about you
Rumors only cause issues
And discourse
So why spread them?
And even worse
Why act on them?
