Saturday Centus A picture is worth

SATURDAY CENTUS


Jenny from "Off on my tangent" blog has stepped up our game with




....hmm has Jenny been sipping too much wine while watching the movie "Sideways?"

this intriguing pair of legs and rocking shoes and love that tipsy-sided walk, don't you?  Sure, it's just blogger being well, blogger.  But everything happens for a reason.....so sideways she shall be.  Rules, any style writing, 100 words, more photos allowed!




Night-Walking or Sleep-walking - You decide.


These shoes were made for
slipping outside her door.
Was inexplicable sadness
or unexplainable confidence
working her lofty dream space?
It happened before.

At sixteen,
Shaken to the center of her being
both quiet and miserable in her slumber
she'd dress for these midnight journeys
unbeknownst to her, at sixteen.

She'd walk right through her kitchen



into a much larger frying pan
into the street
and thankfully, never broke a window.



even to free a gnome.
We've called all the dogs




to lookout

as she walks the streets
in ineffable quality, and deadliness
a real threat 
 to herself
I'm begging call if you see her!

If you're dreaming about spreading your own flash fiction or
I don't know true life story with this picture prompt
how come you haven't gone here yet then?

Sleep walking...great idea.

Viki said...

Loved this and very interesting centus.

Night walker or sleep walker very scary to be out and not know it.

My son was a sleep walker, I was always concerned that he would go out at night.

Viki- I know! I did it all the time as a child, once my mother caught me opening the front door too...so they put an extra lock up high and installed an alarm on the door...(maybe they really did care!) and finally made my last sleep walking adventure when I was married....and my then hubby slapped me awake....and I never did it again!

Galen Pearl said...

Well done! I loved this one! Your pictures are great and perfectly tell the story! My 20 year old still sleepwalks. Maybe I will suggest her roommate slap her next time!!

These shoes were made for stalking
And you haven't seen it all
One of these days these shoes
Are gonna walk up and down the wall

This is certainly different take.
At first though, I was not thinking sleep walking.

Great.
