* Or Even In Her Garden

So, we all survived Abe Lincoln? Glad to hear it.

If you’ve been dozing for a fortnight, Nicky and Mike over at We Work For Cheese are running a 28-day writing challenge during February.

I want to blame Nicky for this, but frankly I’m too much of a gentleman, and she’s far too sweet and pretty. And (let’s be honest) just a little bit scary.

So, Cheesy Mike? Shame on you!

    In my humble opinion, this is the best thing you have written for this writing marathon. I was pleasantly surprised by the redhead's reaction. You know they have bad tempers. :)

      Hey Malisa! Well damn, that's very kind of you! Thank you! But I won't say anything bad about reheads here! (For exactly the reason you state!) Indigo x

    Highly entertaining, sir!

    I could hear that soundtrack screeching to a halt; it sounded like a needle skidding across a record, followed by a split second of silence. And I could hear her fist connect with your jaw. You're just that good :)

    Seriously, though, this was such a great read, Indigo, I loved it! Priceless. :)

    Across the diner table from me Meg Ryan is in the final vocal throes of 'that' scene. Oh yes, you know the one I'm talking about. I have to admit to squirming uncomfortably at the attention she is bringing our way {it's a British thing} and I'm very definitely blushing heavily. Did I mention that my heart is also pounding out of my chest?

    As she, ahem, subsides, her hair is tousled, her lips full and her eyes somewhat dreamy.

    I gather all the shreds of my dignity and ask as matter of factly as possible, 'Incredible! I've always wondered how you managed to make that sound so real?'

    She smiles that goofy 1980's smile.
    'I wasn't faking that one Al. Get the bill will you? We should go'

    My heart pounds and I'm blushing furiously again but I'm not cringing. I turn to look for a waiter and the bill.

    At the nearby table an older women is on the point of speaking when I cut across her as we get up to leave.

    'No. You're definitely not. Don't even think about it!'.

      *sprays his coffee*

      Hey Al! I think you're in the wrong blog! You should be over at Ziva's place!

      Still, you made me laugh! Indigo

      Never intended writing a comment like that when i started reading but somehow that's what pooped into the single-cell bit of my anaotomy inside my skull.

      Glad it made you laugh.

      Sorry about the coffee spray. I do hope you were on your own at the time.

      Enjoy the cleaning up!

      and I didn't mean 'pooped'. It fits somehow though eh-no?

    An outstanding piece of writing. So cleverly worked with a twist. Apologise to your necktie though.... x

      Hey Jack! Thank you! I thought it was a bit of fluff, but I'll happily accept your compliment! And yes, even tho it was a dream, none of the ties are speaking to me this morning. Indigo

    Our dreams are unpredictable aren't they? Some funny, some scary, and apparently some painful. Mine are a lot like comic strips, where each pane is another scene. I really liked this one!

      Hey Linda! Glad you liked it! Your comic strips sound terrific; I'm rather envious! Indigo =)

    That makes me mad. Here you are, having this superb dream and wham, you get slugged, kicked and cursed as well as slimed with mud. In our dreams these things are not supposed to work out like that. Sorry, Indigo.
