I would be honoured indeed, Gaby ~ Way behind!

. 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!

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.”

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. ;)

Daylight Savings Time

Daylight Savings Time

“In this company, we work daylight savings time in the rainy season.”

Morgan Uffman stared at his new boss in amazement. “In the tropics? But there’s no need. The sun comes up the same time all year round.”

“Yes, and in the rainy season it rains twice a day,” replied the boss. Watching Morgan’s reaction, he continued. “1:00pm and 5:00pm, as regular as clockwork.”

“I still…” began Morgan, but the boss interrupted. “1:00pm is lunchtime and we go home at 5:00pm. We got tired of getting wet. We work daylight savings time in the rainy season.”

No prompt apart from the idea.
