Now that’s weird, I’m listening to Nino Rota’s wonderful Godfather theme, and up this pops!
Nice one, Nancy.

Nice one. I could never have paired that image with the four words in the prompt and the 30-word story you wrote. Kudos!

Maybe because you’re not a Siciliano, I’m guessing. Sorta comes with the territory, capiche?
Thanks much, Fan!
