Moment of Truth

In a small park, filled with nothing but falling leaves as the autumn breeze blows by and the birds are singing quietly to themselves, a couple sits around a table having a lovely dinner. In the middle of the table lit a candle, burning brighter each time the beautiful melody was sounded from the depths of a violin. The night was so peaceful and calm, and everything in it seemed so perfect.1

“Joey, this is so romantic,” exclaimed the girl. “I think this is the best dinner we ever had. I mean I am really getting sick of eating Burger King all the time. And as for the suit it is very classy. I am so proud of you wearing something besides Gap for once.”2

“Well lisa, I think you are beautiful tonighh.....wait a minute, the burgers a Burger Kind is awesome, and so is Gap. Can’t you see that Gap stands for Gay Awesome Person. And gay is in happy, not gay as in Im in to dudes kind of gay. But all of this is not the point. The point is that I love you, Lisa. You are the most amazing person I ever seen. You are funny, kind, and totally kick *bunny* in sport. You even beat most guys in arm wresle, including me. So I am asking you Lisa.....” said the guy kneeling with one knee as he took out a ring. “Would you marry me?”3

Lisa hesitated for a moment, trying to figure out what to say. She looked back at all the times he spent with joey, those happy and pleasant memories brought a smile to her face. She finally calmed down a bit and said, “ Im a dude.....”4

    LOL!!!! I love it. That has got to be the best story and what a way to find out you really really have to know a person before you consider marrying them.

    • lol thanks for the kind compliment. Glad you got the lesson. Thanks for reading!

  • TOO FUNNY. I did not see that coming. The guy;s rambling was funny enough, and how he mention gay, it was like 'whoa'. this is very creative and original.

    • haha glad you liked it and thought it was funny. I promise ill keep writing story like this or even better, so stay tune for more! Thanks for reading!

  • HAHAHAHA WHAT! I'm feeling a bizarre mixture of confusion and amusement, which isn't a bad thing! What's great is that you evoke a reaction out of the reader, which is the goal of any author!
    The ending is unexpected and hilarious. xD
    Keep writing!

    • haha glad you enjoyed the story, and thanks for the very nice compliment! Stay tune for more of my stories. Thanks for reading!

    I thought the punchline was quite good, I wasn't expecting it! :'D

    The story has some grammar flaws, and could benefit from a little reworking. The proposer's babbling seems forced, and the final paragraph read rushed.

    Otherwise, a striking short story, good job!

    This made me laugh, so, so hard.
    This would SUCK to be in a situation like this, pop the question and then your lover reveals they aren't even of that sex. It actually kind of reminds me of Shakespeare's days, where women couldn't act in plays, so in Romeo and Juliet they'd have some gorgeous teenage boy dress up like a girl, and of course all the men would simply love "her". XD Good work!

      Hey thanks for reading! To answer you quesion, some guy do look like girls somehow. With some make up and a bra they really do look like a girl lol. I did thought about continuing this story, but i decided not to, because I want to leave it like this for the readers to think of the ending lol. For now Ill try to think of more humorous stuff to write about. Again, Thanks for reading!!

    You choose very interesting background...the blue and red are faint, but complement each other very well and the spirals show your commitment to detail. I don't liking the places where the green text gets in the way, though, I would rethink that part. Know what I am meaning?

    This is. . .interesting? I chuckled a little at the first part, so typical of a young couple, but the styles and the fast food struck me as being very "teenage" as opposed to young adults who are ready for a proposal of marriage.

    At first the twist at the end didn't appeal to me, but unfortunately, I know of hormones that can be given to men to make them grow breasts, etc, so the reality is there, but not as common as your story leads to believe.

    Clearly this couple hasn't taken part in any premarital sex, which is a good thing, lol, but I think I would have covered the gender base before I proposed to marry.

    Thanks for the chuckle.

    Hmm. The twist didn't appeal to me all that much, unfortunately - I found it a bit hard to believe that two people who've apparently spent so much time together would never have touched upon the subject of their respective gender. Surely at some point Lisa or a friend would have referred to her as a "him"? Your author's note did make me laugh, though - that's definitely something to be sure about before proposing.

  • Well the story itself as far as grammar is concerned needs some work but the ending was fantasticly funny. I like his desypherment of GAP and it actually ties in wonderfully with the end. I actually know a couple guys that could pass as girls if they dressed up a little. Very very funny.

      Hey, thanks for reading it. Yep boys that could pass as girls are something good joke about. I actually mistaken someone as a girl in the boys washroom once, very awkward...Anywayz I try to improve my grammer as I write more stories.

    That's no problem. You don't have to be sorry:
    1. First and second sentence: In a small park, were it was filled with nothing but falling leaves. As the autumn breeze blows by, and the birds singing as if quietly to themselves, two couple sat around a table having a lovely dinner.

    You have a fragment here, which means that you have no subject in your sentence. Your first and your second sentence could be added together like this.

    "In a small park, filled with nothing but falling leaves as the autumn breeze blows by and the birds are singing quietly to themselves, a couple sits around a table having a lovely dinner."

    The second part of the second sentence is the subject: the couple. Do you see the difference? It's not as short and choppy anymore, it feels like you are leading to something. Usually, fragments take away from the flow of a piece.

    2. The following sentence in the first paragraph: In the of the table middle lit a candle, and the beautiful melody that was played by the violin guy some how made the fire on the candle seemed brighter. The night was so peaceful and calm that made every thing in it seemed so perfect.

    I'm pretty sure this was just a goof, but the way you structured your sentences in this next part doesn't make much sense.

    "In the middle of the table lit a candle, burning brighter each time the beautiful melody was sounded from the depths of a violin. The night was so peaceful and calm, and everything in it seemed so perfect."

    Not as choppy again, and I added a lot of the sentences together and switched them around so they flowed easier together.

    I hope this helps you out!
