“That’s no excuse! I know you loved him once, but you are smarter than this routine of coffee, laundry, huddling around a stove all day, making that man’s feast! And all that gross dressing, cleaning and cooking any wild meat he shoots? Your love isn’t rewarded by this servitude.”

“Ever think about taking a trip, say to a tropical climate instead of this frozen atmosphere—add a little variety in your life? You’re still young…take a tip from me sweetheart, when he spends all day out in the timber, do you see him thinking of you? Believe me, a little time away might leave him appreciative of a vegetarian diet.”

Sue shrugged but suddenly turned to get the step stool. On the top shelf she retrieved an ancient vase and took out all the money she had secretly stored away.

“Guess it’s a rainy day today” her friend said with a grin and helped Sue pack a bag.

“3:55! Oh my god, where have I been?” The coffee was cold and the screen was blank…Sue had sat down here at 7:30 and look what the time is now! She took up the computer and looked it over to see if there had been some type of glitch and if the time was wrong. She ran into the kitchen and saw the same 3:55 on the stove clock. Then Sue noticed she was no longer wearing the pajamas she had on at 7:30, but a beautiful evening dress. She started to panic when a figure appeared in the doorway.
“Enjoy your trip?” And that is when she remembered what she thought was last night’s dream, time travel with this stranger. Sue started to remember more and her face was red, but what a dream!

dVerse Poets Quadrille

QUADRILLE (a poem of EXACTLY 44 words, sans title) that includes the word “present” in the body of the poem. You can use it as a verb or noun.

Present the case
And do it well
Just the facts,
No need to swell
Anyone will see the truth
This man is certainly uncouth
We hoped his rhetoric would stop
Hopefully quelled by a cop
See the justice finally served—
That’s the intended op!

Six Sentence Story

One of the most pleasant types of petrichor was the scent of the wet canvas tent we all huddled in on camping trips. That smell brings back happy memories of camping and hiking in the Colorado mountains. The second favorite is leaves in a late autumn forest. Next would be the smell of apples in Vermont air in October. Fresh spring rain on warmed pavement always enjoyable and gives a feeling of renewal. From childhood I remember wading in brooks lined with spearmint, also evoking memories of fun times.

The Sunday Whirl

Shadows of trout in the forest creek cause only a mild ripple as the summer sun is still rising in the morning mist. A perfect time to fish he thinks, sitting quietly, and removes the bag of lures from his belt. Optimal time is short for the fisherman soon the sun filtering through the trees will be too bright overhead. A wise old crow serves as a warning sentinel when the sun reaches that point. It’s lucky the man came at dawn.

MLMM Sunday

The vertical drop is a lie that highlights the nightmare—falling, falling and then I wake up, eventually finding myself safe in bed which is proof it was only a dream, even if a horrible one. I lay there paralyzed for a few minutes, feeling around to find I really am safe in my bed. My usual decorus after such unpleasantness would be to label it only a dream. The turmoil between the frightening dream and wakefulness seems to last too long and I take the glass of water by my bed. That’s what they do in the movies, supposedly to calm people, but that is misleading, of course, because it’s only an offering not a cure.
