Ready

Written by Jacob Ibrag

‘I’m not ready for

what this is,’ she cried as

he stood helplessly staring at

the ring collecting flakes next

to her middle finger. ‘Neither

am I,’ he whispered. ‘We’re

kids, who are about to

become parents.’

    responsibilities do tend get in the way, but it happens for a purpose, so life brings meaning to those who gets through it.

    that, would be the problem with young parents these days, they are totally not ready to take up the responsibilities, and, they’d forgotten to use protection, and, out pops those pretty little mistakes…

    Beautifully written! I love how you captured their fear and the end, “Kids about to become parents”.

    Stunning photography! I enjoyed the stillness of the dialogue. So swollen with emotion within limited verbiage.
