for Fandango’s One Word Challenge where the given word is Sashay.
With a flamboyant sashay, a regal wave and a flick of his hair, he entered the room. Heads turned and the crowd parted as he took a step forward.
Then he tottered and grabbed a table. Glasses and bottles clattered as it shook. He stood upright and regained his composure. He forced a smile, raised his head and set off again.
His ankle twisted, his knee gave way and he collapsed into the arms of a stranger. He looked up, smiled and winked. The startled stranger let go and scuttled off, dropping him to the floor.
He crawled to a chair and clambered aboard. Jaunty music burst forth and everyone began dancing. Everyone but him. He vowed never to wear high heels again.
Too funny. I was not prepared for that ending. But I know the feeling. After shattering a leg in a fall, I got rid of all those high heeled shoes.
Very wise ditching those highs! Cheers Denise.
Hi Keith – me too … not expecting that ending … one can certainly see the whole event … definitely a fanfare coming your way – cheers Hilary
Kind of you Hilary, thank you.
Fun flash!
Thanks Paula
Heeheehee! And to think, high heels were for the male aristocracy only at one time.
Very true! Cheers Mimi.
I don’t know how anyone can walk in high heels. Fun tale, Keith.
Never tried it myself – never will!
Well written Keith. 😃
Thanks Sadje
