#WritcoStoryPrompt
Write a short story using at least three from the five prompts given:
An empty suitcase full of memories.
The messages added salt to wounds.
The car accelerated before the signal turned green.
A wardrobe full of clothes that still had their tags on.
A dust free bookcase could hide a lot of lies.

Sitting at the intersection sweating like a pig from the blazing sun, I was day dreaming so hard that THE CAR ACCELERATED BEFORE THE SIGNAL TURNED GREEN. I wasn't ready, I just wasn't ready for this separation from the Love of my life. As I drove to what used to be home I decided to tourture myself by listening to my voicemail.. THE MESSAGES ADDED SALT TO THE WOUNDS... As I entered the house...AN EMPTY SUITCASE FULL OF MEMORIES NEXT TO A WARDROBE FULL CLOTHES THAT STILL HAD THEIR TAGS ON THEM reminded me of good and bad times I had here. We made the choice to come to the house at different times to avoid any more confrontations. I scanned the living room, ha! she's still a neat freak I see. Yup, a...DUST FREE BOOKSHELF COULD HIDE A LOT OF LIES. My God this divorce is going to break me.
