Champagne!

  She filled her glass to the top… It would have been a sin to let such a fine bottle of Dom Perignon go bad. She brought the flute to her ruby lips, and sipped slowly on the precious nectar. Hmmm, 2008 was a good year. She kicked off her stilettos, and trotted back to…… Continue reading Champagne!

Something in the news… (September 25th FFF)

  I was invited (well, not personally, but still…) to join the Fandango’s Friday Flashback! Fandango scrolls back, every Friday, and gives a second chance to a post he had published on the same date the year before. I thought it was a great way to remember some of the stuff I did a while back, and I decided to participate……… Continue reading Something in the news… (September 25th FFF)

Mathilda…

They had to secure the area, and quick. Why was it, the captain wondered, that these calls were always placed late in the night? It was already annoying enough to have to work the graveyard shift, but in the darkness, the police cars’ lights attracted neighbours like moths. At least, they didn’t have to worry…… Continue reading Mathilda…

Mystery encounter… – FFFC

    I’ll always remember that evening. It was late, very late at night… An so very foggy, even for that time of the year. The street lights were casting cotton candy like halos on the road, and my gaze danced from one to the next as if I had not ridden there hundreds of…… Continue reading Mystery encounter… – FFFC

Morning visit… – FFF

  When he opened the door, the muzzle of a hand gun awaited him, at eyes’ height. Oh, hello Sweetheart! He was expecting her, just not this early. She was stunning, as usual, and even if the colt was still pointed at his head, all he could think of, was how amazing it was, that…… Continue reading Morning visit… – FFF

  He sat on his stool, in a corner of the room. Waiting for the exact moment when the light would enter the large window with just the right angle… This perfect, though ephemeral, light that would flatter every curve of her fragile silhouette. People thought of him as a genius. The idea amused him,…… Continue reading Nature Morte… – FFFC

5 ways to win my heart…

  This is a tough one. And very personal. The way to a person’s heart is such a private trail to follow. I think there shouldn’t be any beacon along it, no clue, no tip. The great reward of winning one’s heart, is the result of walking in the dark, tiptoeing as gracefully as you…… Continue reading 5 ways to win my heart…
