Two prompts today:
Weekend Writing Prompt and
Weekly Prompts Weekend Challenge ~
to include the words ‘bridge’ & ‘turmoil’,
all in 53 words. Here is my story.
There are certain lines that exist in society, even among the closest of friends, lines not meant to be crossed.
She not only crossed the line …. she hurtled the bridge and jumped the shark.
And why? She’s only human and carelessly, regrettably didn’t think things through; now her brain is in turmoil.
This is Billy Joel with “You’re Only Human”

If we’re being honest, we’ve all done it.
It’s best to forgive, forget and try to move on.

Always the darn consequences. Do what we will, they always want to play their part. Thoughtful, mind provoking piece. 🙂

Thank you for your gracious comments, Bill.
Some can shrug off those “darn consequences”.
Others are haunted by tenacious guilt and remorse.
It’s one of those situations where there’s no grey area.

For many that’s easier said than done but it’s a valuable lesson.
It’s a great number, one of Billy Joel’s we don’t hear too often.
Thanks so much for your always pleasant comments, Tom.
FYI I have some good music scheduled for February. 🎶
