It was hot for a second and then it got scary. Just like real life. 🙂 Great use of inspiration. Fly’s poster is awesome.

Hot and scary are fun combinations. Fly’s poster is amazing — it’s one of my favorite. Thanks, Oggy, for your encouragement and friendship. You make everything we do here on WordPress so invaluable. ❤

How long does it take you to record audio? Are you able to complete a session in one take?
LikeLiked by 2 people
It took me two tries for this piece to be recorded on audio. There was one time when I recorded a poem on one take. It didn’t have the best reception, but it was for “A Ship Waits.” I hadn’t told you, but that poem was inspired by you. ⚓️

”Tis true. It was during a time when I was heaping so much praise on you that I thought one more compliment might make your ego explode, so I remained mum. 😀 Aren’t I nice to be so protective of your well being?

Great flash fiction. You managed to get a great twist in something so short. Incidentally, does such an incredibly quick story about this subject count as instant Karma?
