JusJoJan24 the 4th – Captivating

This post is part of Just Jot it January, and our prompt of the day is courtesy of Wendy. Check out her blog here!

I’ve always been captivated by sparkly things.

I think it started at Christmas time.

Photo: A sparkly red ball hanging from my Christmas tree along with a few other non-sparkly balls and a plush bear with wings, holding a star.

If I had my way, all my ornaments would be sparkly and they’d turn all by themselves so they sparkle more. Or maybe that would be overkill. Less is more, after all. Besides, I might be so captivated I wouldn’t be able to do anything else the whole time the tree is up.

Thanks again to Wendy for the prompt!

55. Scenes from the Second Seat on the Right

Wednesday, October 25th, 7:00pm
Robert and Donald

 

Robert: So, the guy jumped you when you got off the bus. And it was completely unprovoked?

Donald: Totally. But he didn’t jump me as soon as I got off. He followed me for a while.

Robert: And when he jumped you he tried to …

Donald: … bite my neck. Yeah. (grabs the collar of his jacket and tries to look at it) I think I’ve still got sparkles on my collar.

Robert: (takes a close look) Hm … Wouldn’t want your wife to see that. She might think you’re having an affair with a vampire. (smiles widely)

Donald: (frowns) Yeah.

Robert: Did he leave any scars?

Donald: Only a few emotional ones. He kept telling me he’s been watching me sleep and calling me Bella.

Robert: Creepy. So, d’you want to go have a drink before we go back to my place? I can help you with those emotional scars.

Donald: I could use a drink.

Robert: And then …

Donald: Just don’t call me Bella.
