Generation Exit
Mary knew it was a mistake going out with a much older man. Moving in with him was an even bigger mistake.
"I can't take any more. I'm leaving!"
"Why on earth, what's wrong? Lovely house, enjoy each other's company, we've got everything!"
"You've got everything."
"Which I share with you"
"No, not any more!"
"What did I do wrong?"
"Nothing,... and everything!"
"Huh? You'll be sorry when you realise all you've lost!"
"Oh yes... TV dinners, sItting on the sofa, never going out, my confidence, my positivity? All I need, I'm taking... my youth, before I lose that too."

Not my best, but I'd started, so I finished. It was prompted by an old favourite Rave Ups song.

Thanks,Drew. I was kind of disappointed with it, but I had committed to a relationship with it, I guess :-)

It's a fine drabble, Neville. Reminds me of the old Eagles song "Lyin' Eyes."

I remember it well, Christopher, although it was Positively Lost Me by the Rave Ups that inspired me (a lesser known mid-west band I seem to remember)
