BTS: Not "In Progress" Just an Idea

Warning: this is an old post opened up to the lower tiers. I meant to do this a while ago but forgot. 12/24/24, the rest of this post is from Nov 23. This story idea eventually became I'm Dating A Mannequin.

This just popped into my head. Needs Development.

“Yes, that’s my boring job. What do you do for a living?”

“I’m a mannequin.”

“A mannequin? Like in a store?”

“Yes. The store I work at has this machine that turns people into mannequins and back again. I work most of the month. On the third Tuesday of the month, they turn me back to normal and I have off until Friday morning.”

“Today is Thursday.”

“Yes, I have to go back in the morning. I won’t be available for another date until next month. I had to tell you so you don’t think I’m ghosting you when you don’t hear from me the next four weeks.”

“You think we should have another date?”

“Sure. I’m having a great time. And you seem to be into me. Why shouldn’t we have another date next month?”

“I’ve never scheduled a second date a month in advance before.”

“Here’s my number. If for some reason you need to cancel, you might meet someone else in the next month, I’m totally fine with that. It’s happened before. Just text me that you have to cancel so I don’t waste time preparing for a date that won’t happen. After all, I only have three days off.”

That's it. Maybe I'll finish it someday. Maybe it'll get a title someday.
