3TC – Life in the Ghetto

Floating on the waves of day dreams of sailing, teenage Joe was woken by his mother’s yelling a gripe about the trash. His dad was a miner and worked long hours, so most “manly” chores fell to Joe. His mom worked early mornings at a bakery shop so between their two jobs, Joe didn’t have a lot of family time. Joe’s life was not an irregular one in his neighborhood. All parents and most of their teenage kids had at least one job.

3TC – The Rich and Infamous

“No need to be timorous about a toothbrush shortage my dear,” Preston offered. “Any reduction in manufacturing shouldn’t upset you. Even a sudden spell of a price hike never touches the elite. That is one of the reasons our family’s assent in status was so important. And rewarding”, he added with a knowing wink.

Fandango’s Flashback Friday

Sunday Photo Fiction 3-25-18

Where can he be? I told him it started at two! I just know this is the one, I just know it! Harry took out his cell phone and called his buddy, Joe. Receiving no answer, he texted Joe, looking at the paper again.

Yes, there it was, his golden ticket. . .third race at “Lose Your Money Downs” a train ride away. Harry needed Joe to bring the rest of the money. It was no coincidence, Harry went over and over it since last night, reading the racing section to see if any horses met his criteria for a sure thing. He called Joe to tell him the good news and to bring the rest of the loot from the robbery. He knew this would be it, just like the last robbery was the last job.

Harry finally saw Joe running up the street from the train platform. However, Joe had no bag with him. “Where’s the money?” Harry yelled, he was so anxious.

“You’re not gonna believe it, I was just robbed. . .course, I can’t tell the police.”

“You’re right, I don’t believe it.”

Another day in the life of two losers.

My symbol on my blog is the dragonfly so naturally:

Dragon: A dragon on the wing, always moving, darting quickly from my sight, as their life span is short

Fly: Wings that fly separately and made of iridescent gossamer, large eyes searching

Dragonfly: A dragonfly is a symbol of change and acceptance, as it sometimes takes them months to emerge from gestation
