Rough

Small sand stones

Grate against my legs

Watching always your return

Waves

Snoring, coughing, wakening alarm, coffee maker last chugs, toaster popping, car horns, beeping blaring alarms, backup bells from utility vehicles, loading, unloading, train whistles, phone chimes, teenage car radio karaoke, tires screeching to a stop.

Quiet breathing, covers folded, stepping into sunlight, silent hmmm smelling coffee, smoothing butter on toast, slicing grapefruit, soft shower rain, sliding into the front seat, sheltered reflection in rolled up windows.

We all need choices, cacophony or silence.

FOWC with Fandango — Cacophony

Life awaits

Sure as the turtle

Homeward bound

Stopped

Plans are changed

This road leads nowhere

Typical path of my life

Map

Hopefully we sleep, rest, wake up to a warm sunny day, coffee or tea, good news heard from the radio or letter or phone call. Our life plan, a nice morning leading to a productive day with good health, job, retirement, and friends and family. We all wish this to be our life and if we have only small portions of each, we are lucky and usually satisfied. It is the unplanned twists and turns along the way that make our lives interesting, exciting, and rewarding.

I like action movies and stunts are my favorite. From old westerns with horses to new flying superheroes, crashing cars and martial arts, I love it all. The stunt women in “Wonder Woman” were amazing.

I came upon this article about Chris Brewster who has doubled for Captain America and Daredevil. The video shows a fight in a hallway–violent so be warned. The excerpt is from the article I read in “Variety”.

There must be something wrong, Joe. There’s no workers here.

It’s not wrong, Mike. It’s these new drones. Much cheaper than actual people picking the cotton or even running cotton pickers or using chemicals. We can easily see when the cotton is ready to harvest, remotely. Then the drones dispense arms and bags simultaneously and load the cotton. They fly till they are fully loaded and then directly deposit it, all hands free so to speak!

Fandango’s Flash Fiction Challenge #22

We’re an old established firm, Miss Jones, as you can see by these surroundings. It would be a shame if your resume did not live up to your outstanding personality. It states here you were an employee of Richard and Son. Whom did you work for, Richard or son? Choose carefully.

C’mon, Joey, it’s just over the hill.

That’s some hill, Mike, look how long the path is! I don’t think I’ll last that long.

No worries, Joey, I’ll push you if you can’t make it; besides think of the fun we’ll have!

Both of the Jones boys had waited all spring for the fair to arrive in June. Today was opening day and they had saved their allowance for just this adventure. In the distance they could see the peak of some of the carnival tents set up.

This is going to be great, Joey!

Mary adjusted her mauve corset. It always pinched her left shoulder blade, but it was a Lady’s lot. The guard at the door kept cadence as he “escorted” her to the dining room. The infare for her brother’s new bride showed a course of Freya’s favorite foods with gravlax, salmon, meatballs, including a lingonberry dessert.

As the orchestra started playing, her brother entered the room. Mary resented the gimmick of everyone bowing to the new bride, but followed suit as a necessary compliment. It wouldn’t do to cause any sputtering gossip from the older women in attendance, and Mary curtsied politely, never revealing her true feelings. From now on Mary would no longer be in the powerful position sitting at her brother’s side. The Scandinavian usurper had arrived.
