Friday Flash – Oval Office
Oval Office
He studied the table. White linen, silver cutlery, a wine glass for him. A single red rose. Tonight was going to be something special.
This was where things happened.
This was where the shit went down.
Classical music, a few candles. It didn’t take much to turn an office into something – nicer.
Knuckles rapped lightly on the door. A woman’s voice, muffled through the wood. ‘Mr Tollinger? John?’
He got up. He opened the door.
‘Come in.’
He’d never seen anyone like her.
In the morning he left the office; the warehouse; the city.
Tomorrow was another day.

But, I wanted more. I’m not quite sure if it was a one-night-stand sort of scenario, or something darker. A few more details would make this flash hit home.
