B and B Wannabees

by rugby843, posted in Uncategorized

The new fashioned heels caused her to look tipsy as she navigated the slippery wooden deck. Why did I think a yacht would be a good place to wear these? “Careful there schweethart,” George said in his best Bogey voice. Julie smiled, loving the way he treated her, as though they were Bogey and Bacall. In fact that was her first impression of him, meeting in a cafe resembling Rick’s in Casablanca.

Most of her life, Julie had lived in a movie dream world. Every situation, person she met, she related to a movie scene or character. She was enamored of actors of the thirties, and tried to emulate them in everyday life. Most of the time her coworkers thought she was odd, but accepted her as she did her job well.

Julie frequented nostalgic places of business, and her main entertainment was going to the refurbished cinema that showed the films of her favorite genre. This was where she met George, also a thirties fanatic, and the romance began. Today they were on a nostalgic adventure cruise and everything seemed to be authentic. She and George dressed in their finest, pretending to be that perfect couple they adored.

That evening Julie thought she’d take the theme further. As she was leaving their cabin, hoping he wouldn’t think her silly, whispered in her best sultry voice, “If you need me, just whistle. You know how to whistle, don’t you, George? You just put your lips together and blow”.

🎃🎃🎃

My choices for Rory’s Prompt:

🎃🎃🎃

Nesferatu, 1922.

This trailer was made in 2010 with added music, definitely not the original.

🎃🎃🎃

Vincent Price- so many to choose from, but found this trailer from “The Fly”.

🎃🎃🎃

And one of my favorite oldies, “Tremors”.

MLMM Wordle #154

Joe cranked up the new device to “maximum strength” in order to defeat this alien species, once again. This time he hoped to squish the creatures once and for all. The dappled smoke with the sour fragrance indicated they were back.

The dog by Joe’s side started to simper, knowing too well the derivitive of the foul creatures. Their origin could best be described in Dante’s Inferno, but he was only a dog, and what did he know. He did realize how many hours his master had spent on creating this new machine to finally end the alien invasions.

31 Days October ++

by rugby843, posted in Uncategorized

What manner of specter are you

The grave digger asked his view

I’m not ready for my ending ride

And how are you justified?

I’ve led a good life, done my best

Put many good souls here to rest

Why are you standing there

Not time to climb my final stair

No, I still have work to do

Go away, you reaper boo

Halloween is months away

Suppose I’ll see you again that day

Meanwhile I have a job that’s never done

Thanks to you, the bludgeoning one.

Brew and Spew and 31 Days of October

by rugby843, posted in Uncategorized

The opened chest emits a mist

I think it must be devil-kissed

It slithers around and covers me

My first impression is to flee

Was told that what’s within the chest

Would put my shy feelings to rest

I guess it worked, because now I feel

Powerful, and hear my voice say “kneel”!

A sudden cape is round me furled

I’m no longer that timid girl

The mist didn’t come from the sky

It is from hell and as I sigh

The mist continues from my lips

No longer quiet, but a hiss

Thought I knew best how I could win

I should have kept the mist within.

Word of the Day: Kindred

by rugby843, posted in Uncategorized

Back in the day, about 2004, a little girl wanted to ride one of the miniature donkeys. Sweet animals but needed the incentive and lure of an unreachable bit of hay to keep them moving. My granddaughter came up with this method. Her mom had to get a picture.🤠

Her insight, determination and cleverness are still present today as a college senior.

And as a proud grandma–(again🙄) I appreciate the kindred.😍😎
