The Daily Spur

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.

Thursday Inspiration — The Queen’s Skeleton Army

Fandango12 Comments

For this week’s Thursday Inspiration prompt, Jim Adams has asked us to respond by either using the word control, by going with the above picture, or by going with anything else that we think fits.

The image made me think of an evil queen who conjure up a skeletal army and attempts to rule the world. This is the story I conjured up.

In primordial times, in the desolate realm of Eldrath, Queen Moriana, a fearsome warrior with a heart as cold as the Northern Wastes, harbored a malevolent ambition. Obsessed with domination, she delved into forbidden dark arts to amass a formidable skeleton army, an evil legion fueled by necromantic sorcery in her unholy quest to control the world.

Moriana’s black eyes gleamed with a sinister resolve as she plotted to unleash her skeletal minions upon the unsuspecting kingdoms, seeking to subjugate all in her path. Under her ruthless leadership, the skeleton army marched across the land, spreading fear and destruction in their wake. Villages trembled at the sight of their bony forms, and kingdoms cowered before her might. Moriana reveled in the chaos and in her newfound dominance.

However, as Moriana’s empire grew, whispers of rebellion began to echo through the shadows. A group of brave warriors, united by their desire to free the world from Moriana’s tyranny, rose to challenge her rule.

Mounted side by side on their horses, the resistance fought valiantly against the skeleton army. Their determination and unwavering spirit ignited a spark of hope in the hearts of the oppressed.

In the heat of a climactic battle against Moriana, the brave warriors of the resistance furiously clashed with the skeleton army. With every swing, they challenged Moriana’s malevolence, refusing to let her skeletal minions dictate the fate of the world as the air resonated with the clash of steel and the eerie rattling of bones.

Moriana underestimated the resilience of the living. In the end, her skeletal army crumbled, and she faced a reckoning at the hands of those who defied her dark dominion.

The tale of the evil warrior queen and her thirst for control became a cautionary legend, reminding future generations of the dangers of unchecked ambition and the power of unity and courage in the face of darkness.

Crossing the Rubicon

“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.”
