Written for Friday Fictioneers where Rochelle asks us to
get creative in 100 words or less. Making every word count
and using Dale’s photo below as inspiration, here is my flash.
Since we was kids it was just me and Roxie. Nobody wanted us but we didnāt care.Ā We was crazy in love, wild about each other. We didnāt need nobody stickinā their noses in our beeswax.
Long as we was together, nothin’ else much mattered, y’know?
We got a gig flippinā flapjacks, a tin roof over our heads, a bed, and a hi-fi for spinninā tunes.
We do our jobs each day, make mad love every night, and dance in the glittery moonlight.
We’re happy and there’s no hidin’ the signs. The whole shack shimmies.
Thatās more than most folks got.

You’re spot on about that, Rochelle! Thanks!
I appreciate your good wishes; recovery is rather slow and painful …. one step at a time ….. but my doc says I’m right on track so that’s good news.
Shalom
