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. ;)

AirPod

AirPod

Harry entered the bathroom and made his way toward the great white throne. Something on the shelf cluttered with his wife’s toiletries distracted his eye.

It was one of those white AirPods that had taken the place of the old walkman earphones of another age. Harry had never liked those, since they always fell out. AirPods must surely be worse, unattached to wires as they were.

He decided to give this one a try and popped it into his ear.

A voice intoned, “Right, that’s another one. Watch his antics when he finds out he can’t get rid of it.”

No prompt - just another bathroom inspiration.
