A short story for Sadje’s What Do You See? picture prompt.
.
‘
Firstly, this wasn’t a dream. If it was I’d be sitting up in bed wearing the rather snazzy pair of jimjams I bought yesterday. They were a bargain by the way.
The other day I was at a loose end so I thought I’d go mountaineering, as you do. As I was in an Alpless situation I had to make do with a walk through the disused quarry, the one that went out of business when it hit rock bottom. It’s actually quite a nice place.
Then I saw it, between a you-know-what and a hard place. It looked like an up-ended cinema screen showing a scene from that Jessica Lange film, you know the one, erm, Blue Sky, that’s it.
I fancied taking a closer look. It’s not often you get to see a movie for free, and I had no problem with laying on my side to view it.
Unfortunately, it would have meant climbing a stone staircase to reach it, and I don’t trust steps because they’re always up to something.
So, after careful consideration, I thought maybe I should give it a miss and pop home to watch it on Disney Plus instead, which is exactly what I did.
It’s a good flick by the way. Bye!

I’d rather watch it at home too. I don’t trust those loose stones either
Very wise,Larry!
Fun post Keith
Thanks. Di!
🙂
Absolutely brilliant, Keith! So many good quips – the quary being at rock bottom! 😂 Loved the opening paragraph too.
Really kind of you Nicole, thank you.
Fun!
Thanks, Beth!
You made a wise choice under the circumstances. Fun story!
I’m pleased you agree!
You had me at Alpless! 🤣😭
Yea!
Haha! A very practical and pragmatic approach Keith. Thanks for joining in.
Thanks for the thought-provoking prompt, Sadje.
My pleasure 🙏🏼
I picture you at home or wherever you are writing these funny posts of yours, laughing over then and having a grand old time. Now I can picture you wearing snazzy bargain jimjams! Thanks for always keeping us entertained, Keith! 😀
As much as I like writing deep and meaningful pieces, I try to inject a bit of light relief now and again if only to be different! I’m pleased they work for you, Nancy. Right, time to get those PJs on!
I do love your light and fun way of writing, Keith. So many little puns and quips along the way. Great story!
Thanks for your kind words Mason, they’re much appreciated.
You’re welcome.
