Quaint old fashioned notions
Flash fiction - Raymond G. Taylor prompt. #3
"Oh, Jeff... I love you too... but..."
"I don't do quaint old fashioned notions".
"What do you mean Estelle, I spent all my money on you".
"Yes, but what's love got to do with it"?
"You said you loved me"!
"Correction, I said I love everything about you. Money, fame, glory and livin' la vida loca. Life is good, why spoil it with silly anecdotes about a word that can be interpreted to suit anyone's fancy.
"I want all the crap I bought you back, the house, the car, the yacht, the vacation home in The Algarve, Portugal".
"But, it's all insured in my name, the deeds too".
"What! How did that happen"?
"Because we were in love, Jeff".
"But, you just said..."!
"Jeff, you are not listening".
"Oh. I'm listening baby, heard you loud and clear".
"Jeff, NOOOOOOOOOOOO"!
"Remember the pretty lawyer that you had a thing for, don't look so surprised, I know you swing both ways. Well, we set you up". Jeff scoffed.
"Aw shutUP"!
"Jeff, don't shoot. Ha ha ha ha ha".
Puzzled, Jeff paused, wondering if the whole darned world had gone mad.
Bang! Bang!
"You sure took your time, Marla, he almost shot me".
"Don't worry babe. He signed everything else over to me".
Hug...Kiss.
"Hurry, I already mixed the cement in the basement".

Quaint celebrations around the world to usher in the new year
As the clock ticks away the final moments of the year, people around the world engage in their unique rituals and traditions to bid farewell to the past and welcome the new. Whether it's the chimes of midnight grapes in Spain, the first footsteps in Scotland, or the echoes of temple bells in Japan, these customs are as diverse as the cultures they represent.

An Envelope Full of Memories
I’m back with more writing adventures from my youth! It feels light and crisp in my hands. The paper is slightly wrinkled and yellowed with age… and there’s a weird stain in the top left corner. Inside it is a little window to a younger me.
