FRIDAY FLASH 55 - FAITHFUL

Photobucket
Rhoda’s blue eyes brimmed. ‘ …and when I just have a visitor, your decrepit mongrel goes nuts. I’ve had it! He goes - or I do!'

After staying to the end with his boyhood companion, Mike drove to a secluded spot and sobbed.

Rhoda was phoning. ‘Tomorrow afternoon let’s make it here, Frank. Dog problems over.’

    Oh, no! That can't be what's happening. I say take Rhoda out to a secluded spot.

    If I say so myself, it conveys a message. How often don't we cast something of value aside in favour of something with none.

    @ Monkey Man - I SO, SO agree!

    I'd already been there!

    @ G-Man - Indubitably! Thanks!

    @ Cheryl - Very twisty, and should have been squished!
    On my way...

    @ Jingle - Often so, but there can be art with pure joy, too.
