Fifty-Five Word Story Number Four. And, Yes, It's About Religion...Sort Of.
An
Emergency Appointment with Her Counselor
“What’s going
on, Sharon?”
“Just don’t know what to do.”
“What’s happened?”
“Ronnie and I broke-up, again.”
“Hmm. Yes, that’s normally what we discuss.”
“I’m truly at my wit's end.”
“What should you do?”
“Need to pray and ask Jesus what to do. What do you think?”
“You’d be better off trying the Magic
8-ball.”
Do any of you folks remember the Magic 8-Ball?

The Third Fifty-Five Word Story
Good Evening Ladies and Gentlemen
“Captain
Jones, welcome aboard Acme’s flight
624. We’ll cruise at 35,000 feet. Hope we don’t have turbulence, as that stuff
really scares me. If we’re lucky, we’ll be in Chicago in a couple of hours.
Oh! Co-pilot
informed me we’re scheduled for NY. Dang, I always get them confused. Relax,
the drinks are on us.”

This story is one of my favorites.
This idea just popped-up, I guess I would say. Well, it was shortly after
talking with a pal whose son was just hired to fly a small commercial plane as
first officer/copilot. The planes he’ll be flying hold about 75 passengers.
Should say I haven’t flown in many, many years. Yep, terrified of heights and
getting up in the air. Will say that as a kid I was occasionally on flying
status and flew on B-47s. After the service, I did solo in a Cessna. But, alas,
now, no flying for me and I shy away from tall buildings.

Week Two. Yes, Another Fifty-Five Word Story.
They Had Been Together for Ten Years
Had their ups and downs, but seemed to make the relationship
work.
Lately, she didn’t seem herself. He asked her about it, but she had no
response.
Woke one morning and she was gone. What had he done, he wondered?
Phone rang. “Hello.”
“We have your puppy. Luckily, your
phone number was on her collar.”
