Challenge
Write a short story beginning with the words, "It was an accident."
There are few limitations to this prompt, so I simply instruct you to write to your hearts content (without exceeding the "words allowed," of course). Enter quickly, because there are only 25 spots, and make sure to submit your piece within two weeks time, which is when I will choose the winner of the challenge! May the odds be ever in your favor.

It was an accident. Coming here today. An accident, and a mistake. I thought if I came and apoligized for what I did... I don't know what I thought acctually. Please excuse me, I have to go... what was I going to apologize for? Um, well, I was going to apologize for never saying the right things at the right times. Like right now. What I need to say is I'm sorry and I love you. But I'll never know if this is the right time, whether there would have been a more optimal time for you to hear those things than at your own engagement party. Probably... well congratulations, I'll show myself out, I know the way. See? Always saying the wrong thing, please don't cry. Now I have something else to apologize for, I guess sorry is becoming kinda cliche, huh. Well I'm sorry for never showing you how much I loved you when I had the chance, I'm sorry for ending things between us, I'm sorry for being a toxic son of a bitch, and I'm sorry for coming here today and ruining the celebration just to leave with my tail between my legs and you more confused than ever. I'm sorry. Goodbye.
