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. ;)

Exhaustion

Exhaustion

Ralph Carver walked to the window and looked down. Three floors up, he had a great view of the car park below. Nothing was happening down there, but things rarely did in hospital car parks.

He raised his eyes to the horizon, where a row of trees marked the freeway. Cars flashed through the intervals between the trees, busy upon their business.

Ralph was tired and desperate to go home. He decided that he hated hospitals. And then the public address system piped up.

“Doctor Carver to Emergency. Doctor Carver.”

“Oh God, let this be the last one,” he muttered.
