Designated driver. Never been a heavy drinker anyhow.

Taxi or rideshare (Uber, Lyft)?

Poverty. It underlies so many of our other social ills.

What gives you hope for 2025?

Irish Breakfast and a cinnamon bun.

Working on a story for the SS comp and it is going remarkably quickly. I thought my entry for here went smoothly (for me) but I am sitting on a complete first draft only two days after the announcement. It's even the right length. Need to refine the ending, though.

I think I can I think I can…

You can do it, Kimmi! You can make it!😊

Of course, who am I to talk? I am debating not whether to retire but when.

For those in the mood for writing more flash-length fiction, albeit cleaner, Molly dropped this on SS today. I am at 452 words.

Varies. Right now, being in a place that gets chilly in winter, fairly warm pjs. However, we can also be quite hot and muggy come summer, so I might be down to a t-shirt and briefs or just briefs in June - August. And there's some in between points too. Basically, whatever is appropriate and comfortable given the season. Not prone to sleeping nude but it has happened.

Not the naked part, no. Would be fun, though.

Do you have a vacation spot that you return to year after year, and where?

Water works engineer? 😉

Just the one I am in (which is really not sexual anymore but was).

If you lost a longtime partner (death, breakup, whatever), would you be looking for another quickly or give it some time?

Nope. Is there such a thing as a drive of shame?

HYE had your/your partner's period spoil sexy plans?

Can't I just have a slice of each? 🤣(says the diabetic). But vanilla with chocolate frosting sounds the better of the two.

Ice cream or sherbet?

I left once and came back, so I guess I do. Certainly enjoy the company, even if my interest in the erotic element has kind of faded.

Do you believe in find "one true love" for your whole life?

Since Abbacus didn't add a new question, guess I get to answer Beffer's, too. No, I have not been with a virgin. Wife had a previous relationship and none of my other partners have been in the slightest virgins.

HYE been partly or fully nude in the snow?

No experience but I would be down with it. That said, I'm not entirely straight, just mostly (bi with a preference for women).

Waves on the shore. Love that sound. One night on our honeymoon, we had a B&B room overlooking a beach on the North shore of Prince Edward Island and had that sound all night.

Bake a cake or hit a bakery for a special occasion?

Gracie Abrams from her SNL appearance. She's new to me but might check her out some more.

If the surname sounds familiar, her dad is the film producer/director J. J. Abrams (two Star Wars sequels, the Trek reboot starring Chris Pine as Kirk, the Cloverfield movies).

How come we don't have a bar cat? It will keep the mice out.

We had a couple around at one time. Maybe the bear scared them off.

Welcome to StoriesSpace aka Lush with clothes on. 😋

Yeah, zooming works on a desktop screen but on a phone, you need something that will reflow the text to adapt or you get the problem HornyCouple describes. In have seen user font settings on some other story and forum sites so it is worth considering.

My new comp entry is quickly turning PG-13

I have had stories do this but never, I think, a comp entry. Oh well, there's always SS, right?

Quote by Ensorceled
I need to think of something filthy to write about.

Maybe think about a strawberry tart. Not the food kind. 😉

Working on a new flash, basically giving the clerk's side of my comp entry story. Coming out better than I expected and might lead in to a longer piece about his sex life post-Minnie. There's mention of an ex-girlfriend and a romantic but sexy story about her coming back into his life and how his recent experience plays into their new relationship is tempting. Or maybe just say to hell with it and have a threesome with them and Minnie.

Lapsang and a strawberry tart, please. The food kind. Though I might pop by Storeroom 4, too. 😉

Back to working on my longterm project and, as usual, having second thoughts about huge swaths of what I have already written and trying rewrites. I guess one of the blessings/curses of word processors over old fashioned paper is that it is easier to do that. Make a backup copy of the file and then go to town.

I think that I am going to start a superstition that getting laid on Friday 13th wards off bad luck until the next Friday 13th. Anyone in?🤪

Red Rose and a cinnamon bun.

Depends on mood. Slow to build anticipation is probably my preference though.

Cross-country skiing or snowshoeing?

Never really been into any of my friends' partners that way.

HYE had sex in a change room or fitting room?

No tree. Not having sex. So no.

Do you enjoy winter?

Evening all. Hope you're all having a wonderful day

Hi, there. Been nice, if cold, so far. Hope you're having a good one, too.

So just to keep my creative juices flowing, I am experimenting with retelling my comp entry from the POV of the male store clerk. Might do it as another Flash or might go longer and do some character development. We shall see.

Good morning, bare ... er ... Bear. Sorry, got distracted by those, um, delicious looking buns.

A Darjeeling and a danish.

Been too wiped to write. Apparently, writing 1000 words about a woman showing off in a mall takes a lot out of one.🙄😁

Weather shifting again. No new snow yet but what we have is blowing around and that wind is bitter.

Quote by Ensorceled
I read a couple handfuls of entries yesterday. It’s fun to read flash comp entries, because they go so fast, and you get to see so many interpretations of the theme.

Now that mine is in, I am reading them, too. No illusions about being able to keep up or read every entry, but I will read as many as I can. I bounced hard off a couple, though. I am sorry but using a 30 or 40 word paragraph of a 1000 word limit to give a bland, expository description of your character is not going to encourage me to read on. (end rant)
