(Author’s note: It’s been a busy week here at Music and Fiction. 3 different stories have been posted for your perusal, and I hope you can read them all. You can read the mini-fictions The Lament of the Scribe and 5 Steps, plus the longer fiction Walking On Ice (my current personal favorite of mine.) Make sure to comment on them, as a few of these were actually created as a result of class exercises for my university courses. Besides that, please enjoy today’s creation.)

Sweet Caroline
by Miles H. Rost
We had just pulled up to the drive thru on Route 7. I was reaching for my wallet when Caroline shrieked.
“Honey! What’s wrong?”
“I can’t stand bugs! And there are two right under the drive-thru window!”
Being a valiant man, I reached over the seat to get them. In my haste to shoo the beasts away, I miscalculated my reach. I let out a “whoa!” just before my face landed in her lap. I heard a gasp, then a breath.
“My darling, if you wanted pie, you should have just said so…”
I looked up at her, and she cracked up. I can’t help but crack up now whenever she, my beautiful wife, asks if I want pie.

Heh heh 🙂
Is bearded clam on the McD menu?
I wouldn’t know. They might, but I don’t think they go for fast food anymore. I’d like to think they like to go low and slow now…
Dear Miles,
It looks like we both went for romance this week. 😉 Cute and quirky story. One note of crit: I think you mean beasts and not beats.
Shalom,
Rochelle
Chalk it up to reading too much for classes. Fixing as we speak…
Oh I read breasts.. hmm
Any excuse… Made me grin.
This is great. 😀 And I love the song, too.
Love this.. you really made this sweet and fun at the same time.
Ha ha, I laughed at the end too. Great story. 🙂
A funny contribution at last! Brilliant

I write what the mood is at the current time. At that one, it was whimsy.
That is sweet, you pieman, you.
That was funny and fanciful!
Made me laugh — enjoyed the innuendoes.
Funny stuff, Miles. 🙂
