#MVB-PROMPT

A Sexy Dynamic

FandangoLeave a comment

I was in my room, sitting at my dressing table putting on my makeup when the policeman flung-open the door and walked right in. I batted my false eyelashes at him and said, “I hope you have a warrant, deputy.”

“You want to see my warrant?” he asked. “Here it is,” he smiled, grabbing himself by the crotch and making hip pumping motions.

I started giggling. “You’ve got game, officer,” I said, pointing at him with my index fingers, curling them up in a gesture beckoning him to come over to me while I gave him my best come-hither look.

He walked over to me, pulled out a pair of handcuffs, and said, “I need to arrest you for practicing the psychology of love without a license.”

“What a sexy dynamic we have, don’t we?” I said, just before I planted a deep, passionate kiss on his lips.

JusJoJan — Mood Altering

Fandango13 Comments

When I woke up this morning, I was feeling superb. I got a good night’s sleep last night and I was ready to face the day. I walked into the kitchen, brewed myself a pot of coffee, and opened up the morning newspaper. And there was his name plastered on nearly every page of the newspaper. Another contender for the GOP presidential nomination dropped out of the race, thus all but assuring this corrupt, but smooth operator, this charlatan, the Republican nomination.

My mood shifted immediately. Suddenly a feeling of hostility swelled up inside of me. How has this criminal, this traitor to his country, this pathological liar, this unethical, amoral, self-serving, would be dictator been able to persuade so many people to accept a distorted view of reality that he is even remotely qualified serve as the head of our country’s government?

The Incident in the Neighborhood

Fandango6 Comments

We all, well, at least those of us in the immediate neighborhood, thought that Carol was just this side of crazy. I mean you could hear her screaming at poor Tim from three or four houses away, their fights were so loud. I know I felt sorry for Tim. He seemed like a nice, decent fellow and she was so belligerent toward him.

I figured the way they were at each other would eventually lead to a breakup. But even given what I could see and hear going on between them, I never expected something like this to happen. Not in this neighborhood, anyway.

I mean, you know, some of us can understand why Tim did what he did. Carol was such a shrew and I get how he could only take so much of her browbeating. But holding her head down in a large pot of boiling potatoes until she drowned is over the top.

Well, it will take a while, I suppose, for most of us to process this, but I’m sure we’ll come to grips with it sooner or later. We are, after all, a strong, close-knit group of neighbors.

Crossing the Rubicon

Fandango7 Comments

“Heavy is the head that wears the crown,” the king said.

“I know, sire,” the Queen said. “You have a lot on your plate. “I bet if we took a twilight junket along the river, you’d gain some piece of mind.”

“You know,” the King said, “that’s not such a crazy idea. The mountain peaks at sunset are dazzling. Maybe this would, indeed, be a good time to cross the Rubicon.”

WDYS — Show Me a Sign

Fandango4 Comments

Brandishing a banner
Of broken promises
And bitter memories
With pompous proclamations

But now I’m hearing news
You want me
To follow in your footsteps
This new, nascent version of you

Well show me a sign
And I might believe you

Or not!
