Written for Esther’s “Can You Tell A Story In…..?
#295” – exactly 44 words using the five required

and ‘toffee’. Here’s where my thoughts went.
After the grueling triathlon event, the exclusive Aristocrat Sports Club on the North Fork of Long Island served its very stylish guests chilled Toffee Vodka Espresso Martinis and freshly-baked butter cookies with toffee bits in the shape of a dolphin carried on silver trays.
