Inspiration: Got Your Number

Not only is this a good inspiration for a ficlet, it’d probably make a good movie:

Waking up one morning five years ago, David Brown found a mystery mobile phone number running through his mind. When it refused to go away, he decided to call it.

It turned out to belong to Michelle Kitson, at the time a 17-year-old student living with her parents more than 60 miles away.

Even the most die-hard romantic would have forgiven her for ignoring a message from a strange man she had never met or heard of before. But she decided to respond and after a string of text messages, a phone call and a letter the couple met and fell in love.

And yes, of course, they’ve gotten married; the links has a picture of the two on their wedding day. See? Perfect ficlet material. Starring Drew Barrymore and Orlando Bloom.

    Nice. Sounds like a good date movie. If just a tad creepy.
