100 Word Stories - Week 275

This morning we chatted and planned our evening together.

"Let's make it a romantic evening tonight. We'll start with a nice dinner.
I found a recipe that should be fun. Could you stop by the market and get some armadillo?"

She agreed and we started our day.

She was late.

"Sorry, it took me awhile to find what you asked for", she said.

I didn't see any shopping bags with her.

"Where's the meat?", I said.

"What meat? You only asked for this", she said, as she reached into her purse and pulled out her favorite vibrator.

Wrapped in Kevlar.

100 Word Stories - Week 274 #2

we fly
in the heavens
swooping
wingtip to wingtip
seeking fantasies
together
exploring
the visceral
the erotic
the mundane
clouds of joy
joined by our dreams

we glide
relishing
our shared collection
building the
clouds higher
stronger
glorious
pampering our love

we soar
the moist coolness
of the clouds
envelops us
making it real

then

the caged guinea pigs
of our minds
spin their wheels
furiously
spreading away
the wisps of cloud

we fall
reaching out
grasping in vain
passing our creations
quickly disappearing
clouds of love

we land
safely
two feet on solid ground
our dreams
a faint memory

100 Word Stories - Week 274

I have a unique ability - I can predict when changes will occur in my life.

Normally I do not remember my dreams but there are times when I will have a series of vivid, unrelated dreams that stay with me. After six months or so, when the dreams have been long forgotten, events will happen in my life that bring the dreams back to life. The dreams become real. Like déjà vu.

That déjà vu is always followed by a momentous change in my life.
Like the time three months ago when I dreamt I was a writer.
Oh. Shit.

100 Word Stories - Week 273

Starting this week I am stretching myself - time to see if I can inspire others through my words as others have inspired me. First task in the process - write! I will be trying to diligently participate in Laurence Simon's (aka R Crap Mariner in Second Life) weekly 100 Word Stories Challenge (http://podcasting.isfullofcrap.com/the-weekly-challenge/).

The following is my entry for this, my first, week.

Double Barrel Failure (a true story)

Christmas was always the same. She delivered a list of gifts she wanted. I acquired, wrapped and presented them.

One Christmas I decided to innovate; my gift ideas, my own theme.

So proud, I presented the peripherals I knew (knew!) she could use with her new laptop.
 

Failure.
 

Nonplussed, the next day I retrieved her list, acquired, wrapped and placed the gifts under the tree.

Santa even left a note telling her what a bad boy I had been.
 

I waited. And waited. And waited.
 

Abject Failure!
 

Until three weeks later, while taking down the tree, she found the gifts.
