Keith's Ramblings

I can’t wait for you to see my state-ot-the-art appartment in Higgledy Piggledy House!

When you reach the building, the travelator transports you to the hallway. Once there, take the elevator up to the fifteenth floor.  Hop out and stand on east-moving travelator til it reaches the next elevator then go up to the thirty-third floor. Cross to the opposite elevator, and go up to the sixty-forth floor where the right hand travelator takes you to my apartment, five hundred and twenty-five, the one that pokes out the side!

Sorry that’s not right – take the travelator to the hallway, then….

Prod a Froggie to visit the squares!

    Haha! Love the directions to your new apartment- but I’m sure I’ll get lost on the way.

    That building is spectacular. I’d love to have a duplex in there 😺

      I’m not sure what accent it’s supposed to be, but I thought I’d have a go at something different!!

    One would think that if a travelator exists, it would be smart enough to get you to where you’re going at the first button!

    Or… it’s a great way to avoid unwanted visitors 😉

      You’d think so, wouldn’t you? It would be nice not to have cold-callers ding-donging my door bell!

    Interesting! Truly Higgledy Piggledy 🙂

    Confusion- left or right and which side is right? 🙂

    I have zero sense of direction (it was the only thing about me that concerned the exhusband). I get lost in a small clinic when I go to medical appts…but they kindly shove me toward the exit (which is better than the last medical office–where I ended up in a stairwell where the sign said, “Roof”). Lord have mercy.

    Looks like a collaboration where everyone (almost) finished their part of the job on time, and one collaborator didnt show up.

    As always, a fun read from Keith

    Cheers,

    fantastic. this looks like something that was written far, far into the future—almost as if time itself leaped ahead creatively. 🙂

    Dear Keith,

    I’m going to guess this guy won’t get many visitors. Clever little story.

    Shalom,

    Rochelle

      It’s hardly an example of literary grandiloquence, but I’m pleased you enjoyed it’s maximal simplicity!
