The Sunday Whirl 10-4-20

Everyone onboard had the same contract and as the flight left the airstrip, the dye was cast and no turning back. We were all braced for the assault, thinking our objective was the right way to handle the crisis. No one was supposed to die. There was no doubt in the president’s mind this risk of power would be accepted by the masses. He was, as usual, mistaken.

MLMM Sunday Writing Prompt 10-4-20

The food in the new restaurant was going to be different. I had succumbed to the pleadings of my new roommate, Jose and he promised the best dining experience of authentic Mexican food I would ever have. He was also quick to mention the location was owned by his parents and I would be in good hands.

We entered to see bright colorful items everywhere, and friendly greeters. We ordered drinks made with original ingredients imported from Mexico and that was the start.

After I had swallowed the worm in my tequila, everything seemed to go hazy. The surroundings were getting melded into one big blur. The food came and honestly I cannot remember what I ate or how it tasted. Jose took me home, I think, and I woke up the next day feeling tired but okay. I think next time I’ll just order food, no drinks!

Sunday Writing Prompt.– Creating Context. – The New Restaurant

No Regrets. . .Ever

I don’t mean to constantly jab

To evoke a laugh or two

But noticed McConnell today

Is wearing a mask now, too.

Is this what it takes for people to see

Oh yeah, maybe I remember all those parties

Thinking no-maskers were the only smarties

Maybe the docs were right all along

We shouldn’t have followed the president’s song-

It’s not serious, it will disappear

I have it under control my dear-

Now tweeting from his hospital bed

Thinking what he should have done and said.

Tightrope Walker

James explaining to his wife, “I know it’s not as high as some, but they don’t carry a variety of obstacles and switch around in the middle and make a delivery of those items to the other side! Now don’t start a fright, I can do it. I’ve done it multiple times, no worries. . .”

James’ wife remembered those words as she sat by her husband’s hospital bedside.

SoCS 10-3-20

With the corona virus lockdowns it seems “everything old is new again”. Including family dinners with actual conversations, board games, books, and taking time to see, hear and listen to each other, whether you like it or not! Life is changing and it’s difficult to see the positive side, but returning to face to face conversations with your closest is one of them.
