It’s Wednesday …

Keith's Ramblings

…time for Friday Fictioneers!

.

I was on the edge of my seat. The tension was building. …oh…oh…oh…oh…  

Oh! The power went off and so did my telly.

I have a battery-powered lamp for such eventualities. I fondled around, found it and felt for the button. 

Press…twist…press…twist…  

It was a vase of flowers.

Attempt two was successful. Dim, but okay.

I was hungry and headed for the kitchen, kicking the cat and tripping on a mat en route.

I grabbed an apple and poured some wine.

 Yuck!

Suddenly the power came on. I was eating a  raw potato and drinking vinegar!

Time I changed those batteries!

    Dear Keith,

    Good thing the power came back on when it did. Although, some wines, if left open too long can taste like vinegar. 😉 Great fun!

    Shalom,

    Rochelle

    Oh I am sorry for your troubles. But…this was too funny 🤣🤣
    True, senses sometimes abandon us in the dark…those raw potato apples, I tell you they just multiply in the dark 🤣

    Keep your phone charged and handy, it should have a flashlight function. Since we got our phones, now that i think about it, i have no clue where the flashlights are, i need to check into that.

    “You definitely need new batteries… LOL! Loved this little ditty. So did the others who overheard it. Chuckles all around!

    Next time the power goes off just sit still, your survival depends on it. I loved the comical misadventure–my he must have some awful wine!

    Fun story, Keith. But…
    Right. Now I must go and check on my power failure preparations.
    Hurricane Ian has left 2.6 million without electrical power in Florida (I do not live there) with more to come.
    Now I am wondering about the poor cats and other pets.

      Very wise Bill! The hurricane is awful, I cannot imagine how those poor people and their pets are coping.

    Great – isn’t the mind a wonderful thing, if you can’t see what you are eating but believe you are eating something in particular you can actually believe it, although vinegar might be a step too far! 🙂

    I like the liberal double entendres in this. The reading really brings that first part to life. So funny with the potato and the vinegar. I was hoping he wasn’t drinking the lamp oil!

    methinks a flashlight would come handy in that situation. 🙂
