I would be honoured indeed, Gaby ~ Finding my way back

. As long as it's not viewed as jumping the start gun.

This is awesome!

Would you mind if I add this to "The G.o.T. Memoirs"

? It would fit there perfectly.

I wondered about that but decided that, for the sake of the story, this parlor stays open!

In response to "Patience"

An enjoyable read. Around here, all the ice cream parlors close for the winter, so I guess I'll just sit in the parking lot and if anyone asks if I need something I'll answer, “Nope. Guess I’ll just wait for Spring.”

In response to "Power Man"

I doubt it. The point of these microscopic stories is that they last for 100 words and that's it. So the most I can hope from them is a quick grin or thought and the reader moves on. This one depends a lot on irony, I suppose.

I suspect we've all had experiences like this, TJ. But this one came at a time when I was really looking for something to write about. Hence the "heaven" comment. ;)

Bactrian Ways

Bactrian Ways

Victorian explorer, Charles Fitzgerald, proposed crossing the desert in search of the lost city of Merzuh. To do this, he would need a camel so, at the first opportunity, he visited Mustapha Leek, the local camel dealer.

They soon settled on a suitable beast but Mustapha warned of the idiosyncrasies of camels in general.

He explained, “If you annoy them at all, they will not hesitate to spit back.”

“We’ll see about that,” replied Charles, producing a sword from his backpack and skewering the camel. Mustapha was shocked.

“Why did you do that?”

“Just showing it I can spit too.”

Word count: 100
For Drabble Activity 2024, Week 6
Prompt: An animal or plant must be central to the story.
