7 Unromantic Places We've Kissed

Cafe Writing - Option Five - Seven Things

I don’t like it at all. All the Chairs are staring at me in the most frightful way — And there is a Lady on the Mantel piece who has taken a Great objection to me — and I’m awfully scared —

This is no place for a person with a nice cheerful disposition like me — it looks like those parlors in the Novels where they plot things -
~Isadora Duncan (in a letter to Gordon Craig)

In improvisation, one of our exercises is a game called “Seven Things,” in which we go around in a circle giving each other the challenge, “Give me seven things that [whatever].” We are not going to go around in a circle here, but if you’re drawn to lists, this prompt is for you.

Give me the seven most un-romantic places you’ve kissed your love. Interpret “places” any way you please. You’re not required to explain the items in your list, but it’s more fun for readers if you do. (And yes, I mean “most un-romantic,” and not merely “least romantic.”)




7 Unromantic Places We've Kissed

1.) In the bathroom at a company Christmas party.

2.) In the car, waiting to pick up my girls from their weekend visit with my ex.

3.) In the courthouse at my sister's divorce hearing.

4.) At the mental hospital where I was voluntarily committed for several days.

5.) In the waiting room waiting for our daughter to get out of surgery.

6.) In the hospital after my surgery.

7.) At the rest area when the church van broke down.
