Fandango’s Flashback Friday

Wordle #142 – February 13, 2017

It was zenosyne, she was sure of it. How else could she have fallen so fast and settled so softly? She wanted to scream, but no sound came from her lips. Her body separated from the chain and fell into the narrow crack of the rocks. They thought she would die from the fall. At the very least it should have snapped her ankle. But she was saved. Somehow the chain broke and saved her foot. She was free, but also wedged between the rocks.   A blackbird landed close by and decided there was no food here because the human was still alive. His beak was hoping for a piece of her flesh for a tasty morsel. He cawed madly to scold her, he was so disappointed.   Her captors above were looking to see if she was moving, but not wanting to climb down to investigate. Hoping they would think she was dead, she dared not move from her position. Just wait till dark she thought to herself. Then I can make my escape.   She waited in pain for the sun to set. She looked up and saw no one, so started to move cautiously. A small bit at a time and she could free herself. The end of the chain still attached to her ankle provided some leverage to loosen the rock’s grip. Now was her chance. She slipped out of the narrow space and limped into the river. The cold water soothed her injuries. She would follow the river bank to the safety of her family’s campsite. https:mindlovemiserysmenagerie.wordpress.com

Here are this week’s questions:

  1.  Do/did you collect anything (stamps, cards, action figures, etc) now or as a child? Rocks 😂 I wanted to be a geologist, instead, I married a geophysicist.😀
  2.  What is the silliest thing you’ve ever bought? A felt fedora.🕵️‍♀️
  3.  When it comes to jewellery, do you prefer gold, silver, or gem stones? I like most of everything but I only have a little. My favorite is an Amber Garnet.
  4.  Do you know what your birthstone is? my birthstone is a blue sapphire.
  5. Gratitude: I have tons of gratitude for my daughter and my granddaughter, who have taken me to various doctor appointments, held my hand if I needed it, and listened to my complaining.🙄

He stood, looking professorial, crossed his arms and told her, “the world is always changing, Phyllis.”

“I suppose that’s true,” she answered, “but we all have a dark side,” and she decided to confront him about it. “You can’t fool me Harold, I know you’ve been seeing Marie on the side.”

Harold started walking toward the reptile cage, ignoring her accusation. “Most people would consider these creatures ominous, but I can’t help but adore them.”

Phyllis was not getting anywhere near the cage. She knew that Harold had been working with reptiles on a secret serum but as his part time assistant, she wasn’t quite sure what the serum was intended for.

Harold slid the top off the reptile cage and took out one of his favorites. Phyllis started backing away. “Harold, you know I don’t like it when you take them out of the cage. Please put it back.”

Harold was caressing the large creature, and started walking towards Phyllis. Phyllis was backed up against a cabinet with no place to go. When the authorities found her, thought it was unusual that she had died on her feet, seemingly frozen to a cabinet in the lab.

Unfortunately, Harold disappeared, along with his reptile collection.
