You’re Done :: CR99 220523

Inspired by Charli Mill’s Carrot Ranch, #99WordStories

from her May 23 2022, prompt:

In 99 words (no more, no less) write a story containing the phrase,

“…well’s gone dry.”

So, I’ve decided. You’re done hurting me.

You’ve eroded my finances, my health, my self-respect.

You’ve insulted my family, my friends, and my God.

You’ve broken my trust, my body, and my good name.

You’re always quick to apologize, but your good intentions quickly fade.

Yes, I have already forgiven your last loss of self-control, but you need help I can’t provide.

I no longer want you in my life. That well’s gone dry.

I filled it in with the rubbish that you left of my life and when I leave, I’m starting a new one, completely — without — you.
