10 days into the new year and i’m still off the juice, non alcoholic beer is all well and good but it misses the one ingredient which makes beer great; alcohol, and it gives me gas. So thank god for Rochelle and the welcome distraction provided by the wonderful bunch of Friday Fictioneers, where would I be without you? So I’m hoping to continue the story from last week, so I’ll have to read it again and work some tenuous link with the phot, this week provided by Susan Rouchard, thinking caps on.
On My Marks…
Get Set…
GO!!!

Everyone came to the Shoemaker in times of distress; the fixer they called him.
Loxie had dyed her hair red and was wearing a burgundy cloak. Red Riding Hood ditched the red in favour of green; to blend in, and dyed her hair blonde.
“Vagina. I Love Anthrax” he slurred, whatever that meant, many years sniffing Cherry-Red shoe polish had discombobulated his brain.
They’d come to find Rapunzel, who, after some blackbird pie at some decadent King’s birthday suffered a bout of Vertigo and Kampanaphobia and had to relocate to a decommissioned first floor bell tower.
She’d know what to do…
Well there we are 100 words and the plot thickens yet goes nowhere essentially, let’s see what next week brings!
I reckon Rapunzel is smart enough to take this lot on.

Oh, there is trouble brewing! Loxie and Red Riding are going to be cases of mistaken identity. Rapunzel should be okay with her fear of bells as long as she stays away from the Hunchback of Notre Dame. As fpr that decadent king, it serves him right for eating so many blackbirds while they’re still singing. Ew. These characters could use some serious counseling 🙂

The plot thickens, but I reckon Rapunzel have more brains than the lot of them, so it’ll all come good in the end.

Hoping so, but her fear of heights may influence things

Either that or he was the same person who called into the James whale tv show about 30 years ago and said what he said, then hung up! I remember that for such situations

Vagina, Anthrax, and Cherry-Red shoe polish? It sounds like the king isn’t the only one having a party.

It’s a wild wild world they inhabit, I may get a chance to include some swingers somewhere along the line!!

I love the names and vivid descriptions in this. Glad you’re off the sauce, no matter how gassy you get. Keep a fan blowing and you’ll be fine.

It’s more of an experiment and to seek reassurance that I’m doing it. The experiment is a success and I’m reassured, the weight doesn’t seem to alter though! Maybe that’s week 3!!
