You been drinking?
I loved the short story of the kidnapping. You did great to tell a whole story with so few words.
I wanted to know more - why kidnapped by females? Why keepsakes of twin sons? were they his?
The sandwich is a tasty bite.
Interesting... I'm scratching my head. Kidnapped by so many women? To him, is this a tragedy or blessing?
I loved the story! Your imagination is wild.
Oh, how wonderful/lucky to be kidnapped by seven females - the stuff of dreams!
the kidnapping was interesting - real flash fiction...
Nice short piece with a long history - well written
Kidnapped by two women. Wow.....Nice read
I loved the sandwich--filled my mind with ideas and images!
LOL @Whitesnake.
I might have to check out Pogo Stick. I wonder now what happened to the coroner.
Well if you're going to be kidnapped, this is the way to go. lol
interesting, though not quite sure what you mean, I suppose I would have to read the book?
I have to chuckle @Whitesnake
And as a famous Vulcan would say, "Fascinating" to the rest.
Great stuff...
And thank you for visiting!
Haunting poem :) Nice take on the prompt.
I enjoyed both. The non-Western tone of the second one made it tres interesting.
