I stole this idea from Laurie. The prompt is to write a fiction piece, fan fiction, so to speak, inspired by a song. Not just any song. Scenes from an Italian Restaurant. I've always been intrigued by the song, and it raises questions. There is a story within a story here. We have two couples. The first is meeting after many years, and the story of the second is told by the narrator, but it's the untold story of the narrator and his old love that I am interested in. All we know is that they were a couple, meeting again. What we don't know is their story, how it ended. We know she left town, because the narrator is telling her the story of their friends' failed marriage. Why? What is his motive there? Maybe she left him for another man and is finally divorcing....there are so many possibilities. Listen to some Joel, let your mind wander, and have some summer fun!
