Brilliant, Sharron! I related to both, but "Bolt" resonate, especially. Your narrator is one lucky lady! And, "Fragments," of course, just tugs at the heart-strings.
FYI: I did find myself wondering if there were 4 words you could substitute for "Such a sad thing" in your last "paragraph" (or stanza?). It's not quite a "telling rather than showing" thing, but kind of. Whaddaya think?
When I seen the title of the first story, I thought it was going to be about robots.
Oh dear! :).
1: good choice
2:You only get parts of happily ever after. Misnomer.
The search for a machine screw has ended with a driver getaway.
Pieces put back together show a couple together that should have stayed separated in a scene that remains a mystery.
Your 50 words create a quick read of enjoyment in a fast paced world, similar to Polaroid photo; instant reward to see results.
Ooo, that first one scared me.
Ooooh I love Bolt. It reminded me of every encounter with every man I've ever met on a vacation LOL!
Both excellent!
"He needed me. He couldn’t live without me. I believed all of it. And ran like hell." Haha, clinging is always a red flag.
Lovely. Are these some of your Challenge 50 stories or just random thoughts. Inspired. I'm having trouble getting into that. You're my inspiration.

in any case, I love both!
Loved the stories, Sharron! The second one crushed me.
Loved both of these, Sharron - such insightful snapshots of those tricky situations. Great reads!
