PROMPTuesday #168: Auld Lang Syne
October 18th, 2011
Remember this song?

Meanwhile…for today’s writing prompt…Let the music marinate a bit, and then write starting with this line:
“I hadn’t seen him since high school…”
(Feel free to change the gender.)
Please post your submission in the comments OR post in your blog and leave a link to your blog in the comments.

In this instance, tho, it was quite easy. Without further ado: [...]

LOL @ Aunt Snow’s comment about the song. She’s right, although when I first heard this song, one snowy day driving into Harvard Square, it made me sad. Still does. Anyway, here’s my take on your prompt!
