| 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.” Word count: 100 Because I found a sensible reason for DST No prompt apart from the idea. |
 Red Sky Luigi called out to his captain. “Beautiful sky, hey, Carlo?” The captain turned from his work in the bow. “What time is it?” “About 6:30, I think. Why?” “AM or PM?” Luigi frowned in puzzlement. “AM of course. We’ve only just arrived out here. I said it was a beautiful sky.” “I know you did,” said Carlo. “Now get the engine started. We’re going back in.” Luigi’s mouth dropped open. “But why, captain? We haven’t caught anything yet.” “What are you, Luigi?” Luigi shrugged. “A sailor.” Carlo stood and looked at him. “Sailor, red sky, morning? We’re going in.” Word count: 100 Because I found the picture Prompt: It seemed appropriate. |
| Homeward Ellie May leaned over and nestled her head into his neck. “Well, Rowdy, that’s all the bad guys in jail and you ‘n me for the ole homestead.” “Yup,” said Rowdy. The buckboard swayed and the horse plodded on wearily into the growing sunset ahead. The only sound in a golden world was the creaking of the stays. “Just a minute, Rowdy,” said Ellie May, lifting her head and glancing around. “This ain’t the way back home.” Rowdy grinned back at her. “I know, Ellie, but they need a shot of us heading into the sunset.” “Cut,” yelled the director. Word count: 100 For no particular reason No prompt. |
