Wednesday or Friday
Michael collected his coffee and phone, then sat down to complete his pictorial crossword challenge. Week by week they became linked. The weekly challenges had taken him around the world and traveling through his sun’s solar system. He had travelled back and forth in time. Encountered fascinating characters and even learnt new words, there had been great experiences, until Covid arrived. Mistakes had been made, well grammar and Mike do not co-exist, they had and never will. You see Mike belongs to a time fast disappearing. Just like his inspiration this week.

I think Michael’s doing alright
Thank you
Even when the muse is hiding, there’s always the coffee. And who needs grammar to write a good story? Your stories have given me some of the most memorable verbal images on FF, Michael.
Thank you so much Penny
Seems pretty inspired to me Michael, nicè one.
Thank you, it is always good to hear that
I’m afraid there are a lot of things that no longer exist because of this pandemic.. 🙁
Good one!
Thank you Courtney,
I see nothing wrong with Mike’s inspiration and the grammar doesn’t matter in this context. I love your stories, full of imagination, always thoughtful and thought-provoking, never aggressive. And I love how you compare us all to a picture crossword challenge
That is kind of you,.. as I am useless at crosswords, my being able to respond to the prompts from Friday Fictioneers has been great.
Happens to the best. Thanks Michael.
I guess that it does. But do I see fascinating stories coming out of others in Friday Fictioneers
If I wrote that when I was struggling I’d be pretty pleased with myself!
It is lovely of you to say so Keith, I do enjoy reading much of the on Friday Fictions, which just like a library has a real mix of styles
This one feels a little meta, Michael! I got lost in the meta maze, but I enjoyed the coffee. Hope conversations flow again soon. The phone has been a lifeline this last couple of years.
You are so right Jennifer, the phone is one of humanities better ideas along with paper tissues… says I who am full of a nasty cold!
apologies not accepted. you did well considering. 🙂
You are kind Plaridel
Dear Michael,
I understand playing hide and seek with the muse. Seems to be my life at the moment. You articulated well and gave me a reason to smile.
Shalom,
Rochelle
Thank you Rochelle, smiling is good
You’re talking to a picky English teacher here, but I’ve never thought poorly of your grammar. Sounds to me as if you need a good laugh. Go watch something funny on the television 🙂
Linda, my 74 years of life and a resent stint of college and university has sharpened my skills somewhat. Yes laughter is good a
