Written for Sammi’s Weekend Writing
Prompt #424 using the word ‘demure’,
Gerry & Sue’s Weekly Prompts Weekend
Challenge (intoxicating) and OMIMM
Weekly Writing Prompt #67. In 70 words,
this is where my imagination took me.
Zenith, the academy’s most proficient female fighter pilot, paused to inhale the intoxicating bouquet of Celestial Twilight flowers – freshly cut for Skyhawk, her beloved. She thought about their first encounter as academy cadets. Skyhawk said she was too “demure and girly” to make it in the Rebel Alliance. Over the years she proved him wrong at every turn. Kneeling, Zenith placed the flowers on Skyhawk’s grave. “Goddamn Stormtroopers” she sobbed.

Nice one Nancy.
As you may have heard, ELO had to cancel two sold out mega-concerts in the last few days due to Jeff Lynne being taken very ill.

Yes, I saw those stories, dear Keith. A “systemic infection”, they said. I hope he pulls thru this; so very disappointing and heartbreaking for him and his fans.
