Prompt: … but it was there just a moment ago…
I stopped at the secluded diner with its haunting neon-on-florescent glow. The owner, Ethel, told stories of folklore over steaming coffee and fresh pie. The coffee was deliriously delicious. I thanked her and left.
I napped in the tree-lined lot, full on apple pie a la mode. A cop knocked on my window and woke me up.
Startled and confused, I answered his question: “I was just at the diner…”
“Ma’am,” he interrupted. “Have you been drinking?”
“No.”
“This is a desolate highway. What diner do you think you were at?”
“Right here,” I pointed to a moonlit tree line. “But it was there just a moment ago.”
Specifics: 108 words of fiction.

I was compelled to read this because there is a photo of a diner. I could happily spend much of my life in diners and bars. I really appreciate the economy of words you use. It is hard for me to do, but just yesterday I chose a new blog theme and decided that going forward I wanted to scale my blogs back. My first attempt at doing that is up, but I will be returning to your blogs to keep me focused. Excellent writing.

Diners and bars…you speak my language.
I like your new blog theme. You can see more of the post on the screen at once, and, with your photographs, more post space is good.

And I have drank in diners and ate at bars. Bliss! Thanks for the feedback. Should have dine this a long time ago but I am feeling re-energized about blogging now. Must be because this fucking hot summer is nearly over

And I have drank in diners and ate at bars. Anyone who hasn’t is missing out.
I live in an eternal fucking hot summer. Not quite, but pretty close. It was a choice: I wanted no seasons but summer.

Eternal summer no thank you! Eternal autumn or spring, yes please.
