Why the first Candid Camera failed

Random Word: I worry

‘Everyone is to be happy.’
           ‘What?…You cannot be serious?’
           ‘Yes, they must die, a sad face makes me melancholy.’

           Charlotte!

When music mattered

Random word: Moody

Looking down, Marie could see where Jeff sat with his friends going wild about Jackson Five when she knew only The Who mattered. Now who cared. Remembering him at least in her thoughts made the moment bearable as the bus bumped along the track. Or that's what she told herself.

Come and ski over my washboard…

Random Word: Snow Covered Hills

  ‘Ooh, I wish you’d let me out on those snow covered hills.’

‘I beg your pardon.’

‘Just looking, makes me want to helicopter with all skis kicked turned for whatever undulation comes my way.’

‘You do mean skiing, don’t you?’

‘Hmm…’

Oh please,  even I know your snow cannon misfires.

It's a magic thing

Speaking the truth in love

Random Word: Claudia

You there.
So sorry to...
I find myself...as you can see
beyond a means of moving to the side.
Before your time I drove to here
without your...sourness and
a smile for all.
Before...
the pity hurts
and mocks the running hour
that others, weeping, call my life,
ignore the hopelessness and see the song,
which fills my life with joy and laughs.
So you there, yes you, please,
my gift to you-
I Love.

Sometimes…

Random Word: Cinnamon Toast

Breakfast for Kevin was about a slowness when the colours of the world switched on one by one, when silence mellowed into soft sounds.  The sizzle of the grill. The plop of the coffee. The rustle of the paper.  Now only enjoyed when wife and children were away.  Like today!

The Love Machine

Random Word: The Latest

For Harry, it was always the new, never the old.  But the new had to be novel, not a rehash so not for him a series of blondes; it was instead a kaleidoscope of ever changing forgotten beauties.  But Mary was unique, not as the newest, but as the last.

American Indians

Getting in a spin

Random Word: Laundromat

I tell you a guy is getting her washboard scrubbed up nice and tight. It ain't right. Marriage means that your power stays in the box never mind what the size of his wash or how dirty things can get. Any more of this,  and I'm throwing in the towel.

‘Yes.’
‘Don’t waste time, just grab what we can sell.’
No… he’s moving.’
