For Rochelle’s Friday Fictioneers photo prompt.

I suggested we have a drink. That’s all, just a drink. I wanted nothing more, except some peanuts to nibble on of course. The next day she invited me for a drink. If she’s paying, why not I thought!
That evening something unexpected happened. It wasn’t just nuts I fancied nibbling. No, suddenly she became the light of my life!
We had a few dates; the only ones I’d previously had were those sticky things you eat.
Our romance didn’t last. The light went out like a candle in the wind.
Which reminds me, my torch needs a new battery.

Prod Froggie to see the squares!

Hahaha! Excellent take on the prompt, Keith!
Gotta keep on lookin’, I guess! Though I suspect he’s all about the chase, anyway.
Thanks Dale, I’m not sure he’s that interested!
Fun Keith.
Thanks, Di!
You’re welcome.
You’re really good at these fun flash fiction pieces, Keith! <3

That’s so kind of you David, thank you!
hahahaha ))))
Thanks, Beth!
At least he’s philosophical about it
He’s that kinda guy! Cheers, Neil.
love the connection to the photo…’light of my life’. A cute tale of a ‘fail’.
Thanks so much!
He seems quite philosophical about the experience. Fun story, Keith 🙂
Exactly what I thought, Linda!
Wonderful, whimsical wordplay in this delightful double-entendre display of storytelling 🙂
Thanks Lisa, you provided us with quite a challenge!
You’re very welcome, and The Fictioneers are always up to a challenge.
How do you come up with these fabulous storylines, Keith. Well done. At least the dates (Midgjool etched) are sweet experiences.
You say the kindest things Suzette – you’ve even taught me a new word, midgjool!
You are very welcome Keith, truly! Cheers. Happy Saturday!! P.S. My apologies I misspelled the name of the dates it is “medjool”
Haha! Excellent puns Keith
Thanks, Sadje!
My pleasure
Sometimes it’s not meant to be, and your puns never fail to make me smile.
Thanks Mimi, I’m really pleased!
Dear Keith,
He doesn’t seem too upset over their breakup. Gotta keep that toch lit. Fun stuff.
Shalom,
Rochelle
That’s the way he is, what will be will be – or not! Thanks, Rochelle.
Punny piece indeed! 🙂 And fun!
Pank you, Natasha!

NIcely done!

Hehehe! Entertaining read, start to finish.
I’m pleased you liked it, thank you!
You are the master of the whimsy wordplay, Keith. Always entertaining!
Thank you, Nancy!
Most welcome, Keith!
I love the new battery line. When the torch gets weak the light fades.
So true Russell!
Clever construction.
Thank you so much!
You are welcome 😊
This made me laugh! Great use of the prompt!
Too funny. I love the light theme and the puns with it. Let’s hope the next battery set will be longer-lasting.
I like the sticky dates the best any more (lol).
