Took last week off because, after the September from Hell that was unleashed upon me, I needed a bit of a break. Now, I’m back to doing what I do, and hopefully will be less tired and do more other writings. Here’s the latest Fictioneers story for y’all:

Kicks
by Miles Rost
“I know it doesn’t look pretty, but we’ll do fine with what we have.”
Paul and Mark looked around at the studio, and smiled.
“We don’t care. We’ve got some ideas, and the studio will be fine.”
Mark looked over at the engineers, and pursed his lips.
“Just curious, why didn’t we get the normal studio?”
The engineers smiled.
“Apparently, the last folk that were in the studio,” he chuckled as he relayed what he saw, “They smoked it up in there.”
“Weed?”
“Heroin.”
Paul shook his head.
“Those kicks just keep getting harder to find, man.”
Mark smiled, as he looked at the sheet of music in front of him…
“Seems appropriate…”
R.I.P. Paul Revere (1938-2014)
Music and Fiction 
ah..the suffering we go through for those kicks.
Alas…so did many of the artists back in the day. Janis, Jimi, Paul Williams, etc.
This is good. I started my story and was thinking Kicks, too. but changed my mind. Glad I did. Yours is better!
Hey, that’s quite alright. Sometimes we writers have similar takes on ideas. I just happened to think that a fictional account of how serendipity can occur was appropriate. Also helps that PRATR are from my old neck of the woods (Pacific Northwest):)
Dear Miles,
Timely. Paul Revere and the Raiders was one of my favorite groups. Love what you did with the room and the story.
Shalom,
Rochelle
Yours was much better. 🙂
The kicks get harder and harder to get, it seems. Best to get them through creative means instead of drugs, eh? 🙂 I hope October is better than Hell September.
Dear Miles, I like your story a lot and hope you have a better month. Good job but no drugs is better and use the music to get high on. Nan 🙂
This is a great take on the prompt.
Hi Miles. Thanks for your great story and the song. I haven’t heard the music before. I like it. Thanks. LHN
Lovely tribute. I enjoyed it very much.
