Reunion
“I’m telling you, you gotta take her in hand or she is going to ride over you. At our age, when we retire, we are nothing. She is going to lord over us because we are useless while she is still going on and about,” Kevin droned on.
Jonathan was looking and smiling politely at Kevin but he had tuned out Kevin’s words a long time ago. He had known Kevin for 50 years but he never realised just how much Kevin could talk.
“I’m very sure she will slowly take advantage of the situation and next thing you know, you are at her mercy.”
If anyone needed pessimism, Kevin could surely give a healthy dose. Jonathan resisted the urge to yawn as Kevin’s voice faded into the background. How did they become friends 50 years ago?
Good grief that man could talk!

On to this week’s challenge: Using this photo as inspiration, write a short story, flash fiction, scene, poem; anything, really; even just a caption for the photograph. Either put it (or a link to it) in a comment or email it to me at keithchanning@gmail.com before 6pm next Sunday (if you aren’t sure what the time is where I live, this link will tell you). If you post it on your own blog or site, a link to this page would be appreciated, but please do also mention it in a comment here.

From the Window Seat 
Hey, I know some gents like that. The long drawl that wears on, and on, and on, espousing their opinions, oblivious to the yawns around them

Yup! The worst part is, I always seem to meet them when I am desperate for a restroom. Hopefully I don’t become like them when I grow old…LOL

I did a stint in a local pub. Wow. You escape them when you’re on duty, and it’s a slow Tueday night. But all good material for a writer.
