I would be honoured indeed, Gaby

. 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!

In response to "Patience"

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.”

In response to "Power Man"

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. ;)

Heart Attack

Heart Attack

The attack was over in seconds. From the first shortening of breath and slight nausea, to the full blown, massive unease and desperate attempts to escape from underneath the crushing weight, to the faint rebirth of hope in the draining of the weakness that transfixed the limbs, and then the slow return to a world of the unremarkable, the often overlooked cosiness of daily life, was no more than moments.

Long moments, it’s true, moments of frantic and insoluble desire to escape the torture of feelings too large to describe, moments like hours.

Then the dread of the next one.

Word count: 100
For no particular reason
Prompt supplied by writingexercises.co.uk: The attack was over in seconds.
