I apologize for posting twice in a row so closely together, but you see, a couple of things occurred.
First off, I had to get myself out of the fumes left behind by my last piece as quickly as possible, so as to let the past be past. Secondly, the Friday Fictioneers prompt this week almost screamed at me an immediate conversation, held between two mates (and quite possibly dolt-savants.) A conversation that – after a ton of whittling to get it down to the 100 word limit – follows…

Right. The arrow’s quite obviously pointin’ upward, now i’nt it?
But whatuvit?
Weellll, obviously it implies we’re goin’ to ‘eaven.
Bah! Don’t mean that a’tall. The bloomin’ thing IS red after all, i’nt it?
And whatuvit?
Well, i’n’t red the color of ‘ell itself?
Not like they’ve got that copyrighted or anything.
Don’t know ’bout that. I’m still not goin’.
Then what? You’re gonna stay ‘ere? Be a ghost?
Yeah. Reckon if this WAS really ‘eaven’s gate, it’d be otherwise constructed anyhow.
How’s that?
Way I figure, He’d make it more accessible-like, seein’ as He KNOWS I’m deathly scared of bridges regardless…

I hope you enjoyed – and today’s song is “Reader’s Choice!”

Danke!
hahah… point well made, or what i made of it, anyway. well done!
Thank you =)
Nice twist on the prompt.
I’m glad you appreciated it!
Your ending line had me chuckling. Getting to heaven’s the easy part; what you do while you’re waiting is the hard part. :-)

Amen, janet!
lol :) funny ending. loved the conversation :)
Thanks much K.Z.!
Dear Troy,
Fun dialogue and unique take on crossing over. I love Loretta Lynn, but what was her hair doing in that video. Rather disturbing. ;)
Shalom,
Rochelle
I often felt as if Loretta’s hair was a star all unto itself, Rochelle! Thank you dear =)
The image reminded me of the one in the vision tests, and I hate bridges too. So, if I have to cross one into heaven, it might take a while.
You n’ me both, Tara!
Loved the conversation and yes I agree with the sensible one :-)
Always go with the sensible one for safety – the insensible one for adventure!
Great idea:-)
I loved this, t. It was thoroughly entertaining getting to eavesdrop on these two;) xx
And always a treat having you eavesdrop in, my dear V =)
I choose love…every time.
Let’s hope you chose right, then. Keep in mind, Daniel Ashe’s hair could sometimes be just as bad as Loretta’s =)
Haha…true that!
Funny take on the prompt and very original. Good conversation. That does look a bit like an arrow now that you’ve mentioned it.
Thank you so much Patricia =)
Cute story – Original too. It does look like an arrow. Good job! Nan
Much thanks Nan =)
