"Writing Challenge: Story by Numbers".
The number I chose is 21
Character: A man on the run (‘me’)
Place: A hall of mirror
Situation: Falling in love with an stranger
Object: An empty fridge
THERE IS NO LOVE WHEN YOU ARE HUNGRY:
This is the story of ‘me’ (‘me’ can be everyone or anyone, ‘me’ just a representation).
I saw her on the road. I found myself staring at her. May be because of the warmth of my sight, I felt a jerk in her slim flexible body, (she might be a belly dancer). She stared me back, with a slight smile on her nimble lips. The rose was striving to blossom. Then she turned away and disappeared. But, it was not a disappearance for me. She was all around me, as I was in a hall of mirrors and in all the mirrors it was her not me. I was just a beholder. I tried to run away, I was really running, I wanted to get rid of her images. She was smiling, and calling my name without opening her lips, as she knew me since the eternity. I jerk my head repeatedly. I again ran, but I did not know where I was going. Then I found myself in my apartment, standing before the fridge. I opened the fridge; there was nothing in the fridge. All at once, I realized that I was hungry!
I appreciate to have the link Marisa's Giant Storymaker to share.

Thanks Tara.
I really appreciate your attention to my submission.
Yes, "since the beginning of time' was in my mind, but it came out dressed up like that.
Thanks again, waiting for another challenge.
HA! I love the title of this story! Great writing. I love how you kept it short and to the point! That's very difficult to do.
Note: It should be "a hall of mirrors".
I wonder if "since the eternity" is what you meant. It's a bit awkward, but it's tough to know how to fix it. Normally we would say "for an eternity". Here are some example sentences with the word "eternity". Maybe "since the beginning of time" is what you mean.
Great drama!!!
And you used some very advanced vocabulary!!! Great!!!!! :-)
