FFF - The mistaken word count.

Before you get distracted by my ill-guided attempts, visit Same Sassy Girl for her take!


 


Required word - Interrupt 

Forbidden Word - Sunburn, Book, Neighbor

Word Count - 75 or 275

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

OK, confession time.  I write my FFF posts in MS Word so I can track word counts and edit, blah blah blah.  I cut and past the prompt into Word and get to work.  On Thursday, when I did this, I didn't copy the "5" on 275, so the pieces below have either 75 or 27 words.  No long form for me today unless I find some more time.  Maybe so, maybe no.  I hope anyone reading this jumps in and plays along!!!

Excuse me, Miss?  I hate to interrupt but the library is closing, and you’ll have to either return that volume to the shelf or check it out. (27)

Come on Sis!  Really? Naked Again?  You know how much Paster Anderson hates it when you interrupt his services, even if you are reading the church newsletter. (27)

A call from our mom interrupted reading time and we only had a few minutes until her boyfriend got back. I hoped she hadn’t fallen asleep, but she had.  Slipping my fingertips between her thighs, I worked upward and moved her manual to access what she really wanted me to read. The dog-eared copy of , “The Big-O:  A definitive guide to the female orgasm” fell to the ground.  No worries, I had it memorized. (75)

I loved our community college summer reading program.  Uninterrupted study of the classics, fiction, progressive and libertarian politics, and a surprising amount of erotica.  Best semester ever. (27)

She told me to be more direct, so I left some morning instructions on the kitchen table.

1 – Pick your favorite novel

2 – Strip completely

3 – Layout in the courtyard

4 – Leave the security cameras recording

5 – When you are ready, give the signal, one foot in the air.

6 – Close your eyes and enjoy.

7 – Don’t interrupt.

8 – It will most likely be me.

9 – But maybe not.

9 – Either way, Happy Birthday Baby. (75)

I’m going to go read.

OK, I’ll come out and fuck you later.

 Russ is home, will he interrupt?

He’ll just watch.

OK, that works for me. (27)

She loved being naked. Moving was hard.  No high-fenced private yard, too much noise, and all the FexEx/UPS interruptions.  She didn’t mind those, neither did the drivers. (27)

OK, I really don't like my job, so I took a really long lunch and knocked out one more.  I like this one a lot.  Has potential

She always did this, and I loved/hated her for it. 

Summer came on, the clothes came off, and I had to suffer through her endless reading list.  She’d enter the courtyard naked, lay out her blanket, and read.  After finishing each chapter, she would stretch, soak up the sun, put her body and curves on full display and add more slippery sunscreen. She always had everyone’s attention anyway, so I didn’t understand the show.

When the bell sounded, she would walk back in, dripping with sweat, glowing with heat, and grab her towel and head to the shower as if I weren’t even there, watching, loving, adoring her every move.

Three years of this. Volume after volume of fiction, erotica, history, politics, gardening (which she also did naked), poetry and philosophy, and I just sat, watching silently, ignored as each day she walked by, grabbed her towel, and said nothing.

Sometimes I was brave and would leave her notes in the courtyard and her reading list would change. Some notes I burned before they could be found. Some nights, to my shame, I relieved myself to thoughts of her, then cried myself to sleep.

Then she was gone.

Yet still, I watched the empty courtyard.  Day after day of nothing. 

Months passed.

I heard the knocking on my door in my dream, then my ears, and then my head.  I took precautions, slipped on shoes, and answered.  I was too stunned to speak: so she did.

Are you Andrews of the Imperial Guard?

Yes, I am (showing my pistol), who are you?

I’m prisoner 98372F, I believe you’ve been watching me.  We have to go. (275)

Happy FFF!!!!!

FFF Prompt - 7-22-22

 Max is taking a break so here's a different challenge.

Pick any two pictures below and link them together in 157 words.  No More, No Less, and don't take the easy way out.

Required word - Solitary

And let's hope that Max gets back soon.

I'll have mine posted by noon, PST

Send me your links if you want, or just publish away!!!







As a side note, and bit of an experiment, I BCC'd a bunch of old friends, one for each letter of the alphabet, that are no longer in my contacts list but that came up when I started typing letters in the BCC line.  Some I remember fondly, others with great lust and happy memories, and others not at all.  For some, a "real world" email came up so I ignored those.  I'd hate to disrupt someone's dinner with an unwanted email from a long-ago friend.  Anyway, old friends vanish, but I guess goggle remembers them all.

4 already came back as undeliverable.  Oh well.
