THE LESSON
“By the light – tap, step, twirl, kick – of the silvery moon
. . . ”
Felice, wearing only a towel, pirouetted in front of the
mirror practising her routine, and the man on the fire-escape paused,
mesmerised.
The Boss hadn’t told him she was gorgeous – just that she must
be taught a lesson. He adjusted his crotch - this one would be a pleasure.
Felice caught the movement in the mirror but, like a true
professional, didn’t miss a beat.
“I love to spoon – tap, step, twirl, kick!”
The towel drifted down like an autumn leaf over the felled attacker.

ReplyDeleteThank you SH - you're my first visitor today!
ReplyDeleteI don't know how you came up with this from the prompt, oh yes I do - it looks like a big old silvery moon! But it was a great vengeance tale. Good for her high stepping kicks!
ReplyDeleteAs soon as I saw the photo I heard that old song - the rest was easy!
DeleteThat kick was a great ending to the dance routine...and to the story :-)
ReplyDeleteNever underestimate the power of a dancer!
DeleteGreat story, Liz, nice rhythm - who could ask for anything more?

ReplyDeleteTwo comments! Thanks Nan.
DeleteDoesn't sound as though she needs to be taught anything.
ReplyDeleteNo, but we can always hope he learned something!
DeleteHa, great story - he never saw that coming. ;) Love the way the towel, such a soft, harmless and innocuous piece of fabric, falls over his (hopefully unconscious) body. ;)
ReplyDeleteThanks you joanna - of course he was unconscious - a dancer's kick packs some power!
DeleteDear Liz.
ReplyDeleteI could hear and see this one. Well done. Guess we know who learned a lesson, don't we? ;)
Shalom,
Rochelle
