He poured a drop,  smelled it,  took a sip then shivered with delight.

‘A bountiful coalescence of flavours,  a subtle hint of woodland mint,  nuances of …’

‘It’s only mouthwash.  Hurry up,  I really need to use the bathroom’.

    Hi Keith – I enjoy mine … stops me eating too!

    Enjoy something more inspiring in about an hour … something to settle in with while the rain comes down.

    Stay safe – Hilary

    That’s a good one Keith. At first I thought wine, then smiled at your fun surprise ending.

    Heeheehee! Yep, how long a minute takes depends on which side of the restroom door you are standing on.

    So funny, Keith!
    Glad I decided to read the various takes before doing mine

    • Keith's Ramblings's avatar Keith's Ramblings July 26, 2020 / 17:06

      Good thinking. I always dismiss the first thought that comes to mind when I see a prompt.

      • Dale's avatar Dale July 26, 2020 / 17:27

        Well usually, I don’t want to be influenced but other times, I want to find an original take and so I read some (plus at only 38 words, not too big a task)

      • Keith's Ramblings's avatar Keith's Ramblings July 27, 2020 / 09:31

        I’ve done the same. So often, contributors tell the same story but with different words!

    Had a good laugh 😂. Great take Keith!
