Simply Six Minutes

I told you, I am the man! Just follow my lead, dear! I don’t want to, give me a country hoedown any time, but a waltz? No way! Joe tries grabbing dear by the horns to make him follow, but fails. The quarrel goes on so long the highway department had to put up a warning sign to tourists. Eventually they stop fighting and decide to go their separate ways, Joe back to his tent, missing his old friend dear, who also went back to his lair in the forest nearby. Not all is fair in love and war.

Flowers

There is no genuinely beautiful copy allowed

The sun kissed meadow revels in the instrument of sun’s heat

A houseplant in a window tries to compete

However it cannot bridle the enthusiasm of the beauty and scents of an outdoor reverie

Aradia, Gullveig, and Rhiamon stand around the cauldron, accusing each other of ruining the potion. “It’s supposed to be a poison, Gullveig, not a love tincture! Now up that bat wing portion and stir in some eagle’s eyes so we’ll be able to see our destruction of Snow White!”

Fandango’s Story Starter

This week’s Story Starter teaser is: “There is a difference between what you actually see and what you think you see,” he told her. “When under the influence of sleep, especially, a dream may seem real but it’s only in your mind.” She answers, “So that lipstick on your shoulder is just a figment of my imagination? And the wrinkled clothes you say you worked in all night…at the office, an illusion also? Get out Charlie, and don’t come back! By the way, that is what I actually said, not what you think I said!”

Fandango’s Flash Fiction

It started innocently enough, a man and his dog out for an evening stroll. Then all hell broke loose as a bright light shown on them from a police car. Startled, the man clutched at his dog’s collar, thinking they might be separated. The policemen jumped out of their vehicle, brandishing guns and yelling, “down on the ground! And corral that mutt, or we’ll shoot it!” Joe had committed the current sin of walking while black.
