Friday Flash 55.....


.
.
She was looking at the television, but she wasn't watching.
She was in that post-work, catatonic, unwind state.
Two jobs...Bills piling up...How do you tell a 6 year old...
That Santa might not come!!
(Knock Knock)
"Becky Marsh.....?"
'Yes'
"United States Marine Corps Ma'am...Toy's for Tots"!
.
.
.
I know....I decided to take the 'Upbeat' feel-good road.
If you or anyone you know has written a Friday Flash 55
Please come tell The G-Man...
I will visit, read, enjoy, comment....Then BOOK!!!
So from the most gracious host from coast to coast
Have a Kick Ass Christmas Everybody.....

    It's exciting to be part of that surprise. Thanks G-Man for the story and for being here each week - bringing a smile to people's faces.

    my 55 is here and also a short story - I combined the two because I was working on one site. the 55 is on top

    Wishing all of you a Merry Christmas and holiday greeting to those in other cultures.

    If you say "Have a very Merry Christmas" eleven times that makes 55!

    Consider it said!

    Although I did "stealth poetry" this week, it wouldn't feel like Friday, or Christmas, if I didn't poke my head in to wish you and yours the very best life has to offer!

    Shows it's not just the halls of Montezuma, shores of Tripoli, or crowded dives..er, swingin nightspots of Base towns where you can find the Marines. A very Merry Christmas to you, and thanks for letting me play.

    I don't have a 55 this week, but if anyone wants to read a Christmas 97, feel free to stop by my place.

    Very neat for Christmas. I'm married to a Marine, you know.

    So, I didn't take the upbeat road! Mine is up. Enjoy it anyway! D

    (PS) Have a wonderful Christmas, my friend.
