(Author’s note: It’s 3-1 in Korea, Revolution Day. This means a day off. The only one I’ll have for the next 2 months. So today, I give my best! Enjoy! And there will be more stories during the week as I go walking and enjoying the nice weather.)

Sunshine
by Miles H. Rost
“I wish I could travel,” Rockne said, staring at the bright clouds above.
“Where would you go? Not many people leave Blackford County,” his cousin, Marcus, replied.
“I dunno. I had a dream of beautiful girls in robes recently.”
“Are ya thinking of Japan?”
“Maybe. Korea sounds pretty cool, too.”
Marcus turned to his side and looked at Rockne.
“You got the hots for Yumin in science class.”
“Whaaaaaaaa?”
“She’s from Korea, and quite nice to look at.”
Rockne squinted, as the sun came out.
“She’s Korean-American. She’s from Portland.”
“Oh.”
“But yeah, she’s my ray of sunshine…”
We all need a ray of sunshine! Enjoy your day off.
Ahh, sweet! Hope she feels the same!
Very sweet!
Head in the clouds, best feeling in the world. 🙂 Nicely done.
Good for him putting Marcus straight. Hope she reciprocates 🙂
Korea sounds great, as does your story.
Aww, that was sweet. 🙂
That’s lovely. And people from Blackford County should travel more.
Ah, love and learning. What else can a soul wish for? 🙂
Hope you enjoy your day off.
As the mom of a teenage boy, I smiled.
I really enjoyed this and it really left me smiling at the end. It remembed me of an ad we had for Moccona coffee here in Australia where the girl approached a man of Arican appearance in the supermarket and says he looks me exotic. Where are you from? And he replies “Yorkshire”. It had me in stitches.

This is a nice light tale. I enjoyed it.
Ah! Sweet teen dreams are the sweetest.
Teen dreams, lovely. They can’t help themselves and should enjoy while they have them
I admire Rockne; can relate to being in a non-travelling environment.
I think he is making his interests known in a devious, round about way. Maybe he is warning his cousin off or prompting him to convey his sentiment! Simply nice!
