He simply could easily find it. Knowing his reputation as the best cardiologist in the land, she relied on his judgment. Little did she know that he was a magic scientist. In order to diagnose a person’s condition, he would put the patient under a special spell and perform his magic. Of course, it was not truly acceptable and no one would believe it if they were even told, but as she lay there, fast asleep with heavy sedation, he found he could diagnose heart conditions easily. X-ray machines and anesthesiologist equipment and heavy big bright lights above had nothing to do with his diagnosis. He simply made a tiny incision, then shrank down, hopped inside, and got a very good look into a person’s heart. Thus solving the problem much more easily.

Violet’s prompt guidelines:

I chose C: “Sometimes I think being scared is half the fun.”

—

Groomed at eighteen

The wise might have seen

That seemingly a dream

Come true

Was only construed

For others’ means-

Pushed forward

For their future,

Not my reward.

Now I am realizing

My compromising

Looking back now it’s done

“Sometimes I think being scared is half the fun”

Or not.

My apologies to Violet. I could not get my post formatted from copying yours. It is not easy to use blocks and WP doesn’t help.

The veteran stood looking at his medals, none even tarnished over these many years. The ribbons faded a bit, but the honor receiving them didn’t change. He imagined he could even fit his uniform since his body hadn’t changed much. His back hunched a bit using the cane; the war injuries never let him forget.

Sunday Photo Fiction

Hit the glass you salty little darling. Vodka just isn’t the same without you. You’re just the first of many that I’ll add. What’s a little bit of salt when the real problem is the liquid that you’re falling into? If I add enough of you, maybe it will be so satisfying I won’t need to add any more vodka.

A second drink wouldn’t be so terrible would it? Yes, I’m hungry, not for food, just for you, in my liquid refreshment. Funny how it’s called refreshing when it causes just the opposite reaction. But even if I don’t like the taste without you little green beauties, I like the feeling as it goes down. You just help make it palatable. I never used to drink like this. Sitting here alone at the table. But that was before I had you as my friend.

I like talking to you because you only listen. No one else listens anymore. Here you go, a couple more to keep you company. Try not to splash, I can only afford one more shot before I go home. Soaking in all that liquid makes you both taste much better. Is it you or the vodka?
