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. ;)

Lornda's Leaf

Lornda’s Leaf

I was wandering through the gardens and courtyards of WDC the other day, when I spied Lornda staring intensely at a pile of autumn leaves.

“What are you looking for?” I asked.

“I need a leaf,” she replied. “And I just can’t find the right one. I’ve sorted through all these and none are quite what I need.”

Somehow I knew what she meant. I reached out and plucked a green leaf from a nearby tree and handed it to her.

“That’s it exactly!” she said. “How did you know?”

“I figured you needed to turn over a new leaf.”

For Muffy’s Mischievous Challenges, May 2024
Prompt: Lornda’s Leaf.
