A silly little story …

for Six Sentence Stories where the given word is Distraction (I’ve been a bit naughty and changed it to Distracted!).

I was wandering along thinking about this that and the other, when I was distracted by an angel. 

How dare you laugh, and no, I did not imagine her!

As I was saying before you rudely interrupted me, this angel was smiling at me and …. what do you mean ‘how do you know she was an angel? 

Because she had a sticker on her back saying ‘made in heaven’, duuuh!  Of course she was a bloody angel, she had wings, that’s how I know! 

Anyway, I waved to her and …. yes, I had been to the pub … oh I give up.

    No one believes your story! That’s too sad. I’m sure you saw a real angel 😇

    I love the tone of this. You have a real knack for raising a smile!

      Never a truer word etc!

      Delighted to have amused you, Jenne, thank you.

    Oh Yes,.. I trust you Keith 🙂
    Angels live in the pub 😉

      Thank you Nima, I’m really pleased! Actually, there’s a pub near here called The Angels Rest – or is it The Anglers Rest?

    So sorry you didn’t have another couple of sentences. I’d have liked to hear what the angel said to you. 😉

    Well, Keith, you don’t have to convince me. I believe in angels… and faeries!

    That’s hilarious, Keith. Well written, even with the slightly changed word.

    Hi Keith – bad boy … I’m surprised other ‘interesting’ things didn’t happen – don’t ask me what – I’d be put into ‘coventry’ for many a day!! – cheers Hilary

    • Keith's Ramblings's avatar Keith's Ramblings July 30, 2021 / 09:53

      Actually, they did, but nobody would believe me! Thanks, Hilary.

    I like the way you make us pause and go hmmmmm.
    good six. good job with the cue.

    Maybe she was just watching over you on your way home from the pub, not that you needed watching, but you never know. Cute SSS.

    Angel must have been the theme for the evening 🙂

  12. Frank Hubeny's avatar Frank Hubeny July 29, 2021 / 20:06

    I like the evidence that she was an angel because of the sticker, “Made in Heaven”, on her back.

    • Keith's Ramblings's avatar Keith's Ramblings July 30, 2021 / 09:45

      …a sarcastic comment to a Doubting Thomas! Cheers, Frank.

    Was she a late ’50’s/ early ’60’s angel, like they have in songs from that era.? They can be interesting?

    • Keith's Ramblings's avatar Keith's Ramblings July 30, 2021 / 09:43

      Possibly her mother was, but she was clutching a mobile phone – a typical teenangel!

    Distracting humans can be very irritating, Keith. Please . . . go on.

    Well, we’re all listening, and we want to hear what happened next!
    Delightful Six!

    • Keith's Ramblings's avatar Keith's Ramblings August 1, 2021 / 15:08

      You wouldn’t believe me if I told you!!! Cheers Liz.

    Keith! Love this. While I’m most late to the Six this week, your Six was well worth the (not) wait and brightened my Saturday 🙂

    “Because she had a sticker on her back saying ‘made in heaven’, duuuh! Of course she was a bloody angel, she had wings, that’s how I know!”,
    lol That line is epic, as the kids would say.

    • Keith's Ramblings's avatar Keith's Ramblings August 1, 2021 / 14:51

      Thanks so much, Denise. I wasn’t sure readers would realise I was being sarcastic with that line, so that’s sick dude – as the kids would say!

    Good one, Keith. That’s one halo of a Six!
    No convincing needed here luckily, as fully signed-up to the believing in angels and fairies and UFOs club
    (meetings held once a month, at pub) 😁

    Well, this is definitely silly, but it’s not naughty, in my opinion, to use a different form of the word. I enjoyed your six.

    • Keith's Ramblings's avatar Keith's Ramblings August 2, 2021 / 09:40

      Well, that’s alright then! Delighted you enjoyed it Abbie, thank you.
