He checked all of the equipment, again. Everything had to be perfect.
She was willing to embark on this adventure with him. He was leaving nothing to chance. Their desire to try something novel was the last stop before divorce court.
This flash is hot!

/ August 10, 2013There are quite a bit of commitment to it. I wonder about those who mistakenly committed.

/ August 3, 2013I love the idea of being committed enough to try anything to make it work. Hope is good. xxx

/ August 3, 2013I know, right? It does sound like something a judge would order before granting a divorce. Do not get me started on the idiocy of such rulings. o.O

/ August 2, 2013I think they are going bungee jumping or skydiving. The adrenalin rush will act as a band-aid until one of them gets bored again.
Great story!

/ August 3, 2013I love those ideas! I think skydiving is just fun period. xxx
Tess Kann
/ August 3, 2013I thought bungee jumping too, at first, but on second reading think there’s a sailing-around-the-world feel to me. Yes, I think it IS sailing.
What an adventurous flash! I love the mystery.

/ August 3, 2013I need to get a grip 🙁
This FTP isn’t on my list,
yes a list that I added to
in order not to forget my
FTP postings 🙂 lol
Embark is not amongst them
so either this has been added
later or I am losing my marbles 🙁

Red of M3
/ August 3, 2013No, it is new. Hot Flashes are only added on the first of the month. There needs to be some things worth the wait. 😉 And yes, I do know I have twisted your arm sufficiently for you to create lists. 😛
Gray Dawster
/ August 6, 2013Yes well I still don’t write lists generally but for the FTP quarters I always have one near so that I don’t miss any, actually if I write something that is not fitting then do tell me on the posting so that I can write an alternative 🙂
Yes I am cheeky but you already know that so I guess I can get away with it? 😉 lol I will add the word Embark (50) to my list and hopefully I will meet the deadline, although I think that I am already far behind everyone else having only completed four of the flashes so far, but I will get my skates on soon and finish them all in time 🙂
I was wondering if it is normal to write the flashes to the exact word count? 🙂 Of course with not knowing for sure this has now become my own challenge and so far I am succeeding 🙂
Have a very nice Tuesday Red and by the way I love the cover that you have added for ‘Flashes from the Bistro’ it is awesome 🙂

/ August 11, 2013There are a few of the authors who meet the number exactly because they have to cut to make it fit. I feel certain you will make it.
I am glad you like the cover. It was fun. I am already working on the cover for the new one. It will be just as interesting. 🙂
