The Beginning....

The Beginning....
When William Least Heat-Moon toured the country many years ago, his steed, if you will, was a van that he named Ghost Dancing. His journey of America was 13,000 miles. His book is Blue Highways, A Journey Into America. My steed will be a Subaru WRX (traded for an XV Crosstrek). My travels will be, what in the past were called, the blue highways of Virginia. Years ago, maps showed secondary roads in blue. Yes, the ones less traveled.

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.”

 OK, I had this with the animal stories (in the third book I'm working on). Then decided it would be better with relationships. Hey, I hope the last line will give you a laugh when you learn she’s a pup.
