They’d found Frank with his head wedged in the shattered ornamental window – bleeding, mumbling, high.
“Wow, it’s like a portal dude. To a world of fishes and Angels. What a trip man!”
A fresh faced paramedic listened sympathetically as she picked crystals of glass from Frank’s cheek.
“You don’t get it. You’re such squares!” he protested.
These days Frank is less known for ‘Free Love’ than he is bad ties and overpriced used cars. However, that young, bright eyed paramedic remained loyal. On each one of their 30 anniversaries she’s presented Frank with a cuddly dolphin. He always smiles, his scar still as clear as the memories.
These words form my entry into this week’s Friday Fictioneers photo prompt challenge. As this is the last Friday Fictioneers before Christmas I’d like to take this opportunity to wish my fellow scribblers all the best for the festive season.
Haha I love this 🙂 Brilliant
Thanks, Al. Glad you liked it!
I do 😉
Oh Frank…..women do not let men live things down 🙂
Thanks for the comment!
Wow, a happy ending to a bad trip 🙂
Cheers, Jan.
I suppose you could say that it was a sort of portal to a world of angels. She seems to be just that for him. 😉
That was a great tale Paul, with a lot of charm. Nice work.
Hi Paul. I laughed out loud at this one. Loved it.
Really warm and nonjudgemental. I enjoyed rereading it.
Dear Paul,
Charming love story with a bit of a twisted beginning. I enjoyed this.
Shalom,
Rochelle
Thanks, Rochelle.
So well done this week, Paul. Sweet and clever. Wonderful!
Cheers!
That was a very sweet ending to a rather detailed and very near perfect portrait of a stoner. The idea of the portal has been used by others, but not quite so comically.
Thanks, Linda. Yeh, I noticed after submitting my piece that a couple of others had seen a portal. However, I’m glad you liked my take on it!
A very funny and sweet story 😀
haha 🙂 cute. Merry Christmas to you too! 🙂
Cheers, kz!
Very sweet. You really are a romantic Paul. Merry Christmas.
