A short story …

Keith's Ramblings

for Friday Fictioneers

cccccccccccccccccccccc

They were standing outside the gaping doorway.

‘Is this right?’ asked Mike. ‘She calls her new apartment a piece of paradise. This is hardly the Golden Gate!’

‘It’s the address on the invitation’ said Mitch.

‘The stairway to heaven’s supposed to be paved with gold’ chuckled Mike.

‘Mixed metaphor, mate!’

‘What? I’m the king of metaphors, Metafive some call me!’

Venturing inside, they started climbing.

‘The song says there’re four steps to heaven, not fifty-four’.

‘No Mike, three steps’.

Are you questioning my song knowledge? I’m known as the Musical Mastermind. Anyway, let’s knock-knock-knock on heaven’s door!

‘Welcome,’ said Angela. 

‘Halo’, said Mitch.

    Laughing.
    I’m not sure how many groans this deserves, so just help yourself to a handful or three!

    Dear Keith,

    You crack me up…nothing more fun than a pun or musical wordplay. Fun stuff.

    Shalom,

    Rochelle

    A strangely realistic conversation. Bet they found “heaven is a place on earth”.

    This was a lot of fun…I wondered what would have happened if Led Zeppelin had been the theme, of course it ended with Bob Dylan. After reading your theme for A to Z, it’s in my brain! 🙂
