‘.

I have waited so long for this moment.

Now, you lie before me on a stone slab, weeping in the glow of a roaring fire.

My knife is poised, I lower it, I draw the silver blade slowly across your moist skin and slice into your veins.

My body quivers with excitement as the warm crimson fluid trickles into a sparkling crystal vessel. 

I am ready.

Blue Dolcelatte cheese, warm focaccia bread and Molino di Grace Chianti Classico 2004.  Have I died and gone to heaven?

    Hi Keith – when I’m deprived of cheese and wine … I can feel like that … cheers – sad it’s not lunchtime … Hilary

      I have a piece of Stilton before me now – I feel a poem coming on!

    Sorry, Keith. You can no longer trick me with a surprise ending. The second I read your title, I was ready!

    • Keith's Ramblings's avatar Keith's Ramblings May 26, 2022 / 14:30

      I may surprise you with a non-surprise ending one day just to confuse you!

    Just realised how hungry I am!
    Nicely done, old porcupine.

    • Keith's Ramblings's avatar Keith's Ramblings May 26, 2022 / 14:43

      I don’t need to be hungry to yearn for wine and cheese!

    I love when you think that you know where the story is going and then there is a twist.

    Fun tale, Keith. Somehow it wouldn’t have the same ring to it with plastic-wrapped cheese slices, day-old sliced bread and cask red in front of a 3-bar heater. 😉

    Maybe we can share some wine, cheese, warm bread and a story or two someday, you do these so well!

    I started off quivering and ended up salivating! Nice one, Keith.

    A nice compact mystery solved, Keith! 🙂

    Such a tease! I am, however, much relieved.
    Well done, you scamp!

  19. GirlieOnTheEdge's avatar GirlieOnTheEdge May 29, 2022 / 23:04

    Keith! Masterful telling of a tale wherein the rug is….well, you know the saying. Well done, sir!
