Bella - a Flash Fiction

Bella came through the swing door and his heart skidded to a stop, literally. He had to inhale to kick if off again. It has always been that way, since the first day he walked through the doors of the restaurant where she was a waitress.

She was a waitress but her mother owned the classy, a little over a dozen tables eatery. It was a small place but the food was good and highly affordable. A fact that didn’t really matter with him, but which he knew was a fine factor with the other patrons.

Soul Train - Where is Your Integrity?

Integrity, a lot of us use that word and even ascribe it to our person, but do we really know the meaning?

Too Little, Too LATE

Chapter One

Prisca Denton sat on her balcony. It was one of her pleasures when the day’s work was done and the evening hombre sky had swallowed up the sun.

It was mid-November so the sun shone bright and fierce during the day. It also meant the nights were mostly warm, sometimes even stifling hot. It was why she enjoyed her breeze-hour on the balcony.

Not that there was much breeze tonight but she had her hand-fan to help the process and that sufficed.

She could have stayed inside, at least the Power company was generous this evening. But despite the ceiling fan blowing at top speed inside the living room, she preferred the noiseless, solitude of her balcony.

The quiet peace was of course disturbed, every now and then, by a dissatisfied grunt or a yell of triumph from Esosa as he watched his football match but she wasn’t bothered by it. It was all part of the familiarity she welcomed in the quiet night.
