Friday Flash 55.....



Had I met the dame in a bar, I'd have brushed her aside like a piece of lint.
But there she stood in my office doorway. Young, almost pretty, and not wearing
nearly enough make-up. In spite of her drab look, she was exceedingly friendly.
Sometimes the friendly ones are the most dangerous.....


Note to self: You listen to WAY too many old radio dramas!!
If you or anyone you know is overly dramatic, or 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 Week-End!!

    The understated are always the most dangerous! Watch out for those natural girls.

    I'll try again - THREE deletes! UGH So sorry.

    You should see your plain Jane at happy hour - you wouldn't recognize her!

    I have two tonight as last week I accidentally wrote two for you :) Some people may have already read the one with Sebastian:

    The Eastern Breeze

    and I whipped this one up this afternoon:

    Listen

    and Brian has already visited both (just trying to save you some time, Mr. Miller :)

    Don't get all excited. She probably just wants to borrow your stapler. :-)

    In a pinch, I guess you could try Courting her.

    As far as I know, I've never been described as "exceedingly friendly", so I guess you're safe.

    Maybe.

    They also say you have to watch out for the quiet ones... and I've been described as "quiet" plenty of times.

    Sleep with one eye open.

    Thanks for another Friday 55!
    Mine's here. :)

    You'd have brushed her aside? Jeez, I think she's quite pretty, reminds me of Paul McCartney's wife, Nancy Shevell. I don't know..... but I do know that your 55 made me think about what makes guys tick!

    A piece of lint! Oh Galen--too cruel! I have been listening to Radiolab -- at least last night ==so interesting.

    Loved your Noirish 55--I haven't listened to so many radio dramas but have read more than share of detective novels.

    Here's my very belated one:
