    Well... I have felt motivated to write a story about the characters Karen von Bish and Steve Nicemann.


    The Nice Stranger


    The sky is cloudy and blue outside of the café.

    Karen is sitting by herself at a table, drinking coffee from a mug, while thinking about her ex-fiancé, Robert.

    Tears want to escape her eyes as she thinks about the day he broke off his engagement with him.

    The tears fall down in her coffee, as she feels her heart getting broken again.

    She takes a sip of that coffee, hoping that it hasn't gotten salty.

    It hasn't.

    She empties the mug and gets up.


    She opens the door to the café and leaves.

    She tries to distract herself from the of thoughts about him and starts thinking about the pearl necklace that she saw at jewelry store.

    But the necklace makes her think of the one that Robert's mother wore.


    "Excuse me." she suddenly hears someone from behind saying.

    She turns around and sees a man standing there holding her bag.

    He is tall, has a very handsome face and black hair.

    "I think you forgot this." he tells her.

    "Oh..." she says, looking at her bag and then his face. "Thank you."

    She takes her bag.

    "You're welcome." he says with a smile.

    Her cheeks turn as pink as rosé.

    He looks into her eyes that are bloodshot from the tears that she shed.

    "I hope you have a nice day today."

    "You too."

    He is about to walk away.

    "Wait." she tells him, making him stop. "Would you like to come over to my house and have a cup of tea?"

    "Yes please."

    "By the way, what is your name?"

    "Steve."

    She remembers when Robert was talking about his coworker who had the same name.

    "I'm Karen. Karen Von Bish."

    "Karen?" he repeats. "That is a pretty name."

    "You really think so?"

    "Yes. It means 'pure'" he says.

    "Oh, I didn't know that."

    "Well... where do you live?" he asks.


    The End.




    I actually had no idea how to end this short story...
