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. ;)

Use It or Lose It

Use It or Lose It

As he grew older, he thought often of the adage. Knowing it was true, he fretted about the increasing rarity of his interactions with her and the dwindling of his capacity. She seemed disinterested and he was determined not to impose on her.

Just as he feared, he lost it in the end.

Then he found that life was easier and happier without it. Not to be subject to its constant urging and insistence was freedom indeed.

She missed it, however. Now she worried about losing both her charms and his love. His frequent declarations were insufficient to convince her.

Word count: 100
For no particular reason but my strange thoughts.
Unprompted.
