JILTED
See that dress on the line? That’s my
dream in tatters.
I shouldn’t have fallen for Hank, of
course, but there’s a shortage of single men round here, and when he breezed into
the bar, all tan and drawl, I was smitten.
Out in the cornfield he kissed me
till I melted like butter in the sun. He came to supper, spoke respectful to
Pa, charmed Momma, talked about settling down hereabouts, and we set a date.
He didn’t show.
When the dress is dry I’ll put it
away in tissue paper.
You never know – I might need it
again.

Yes, I know it's probably a bird, but I saw a dress blowing in the breeze. If you follow the Blue Frog link from https://rochellewisoff.com/ you will discover what other writers thought they saw.
Thanks to Jean L Hayes for the photograph and to Rochelle for hosting Friday Fictioneers, for whom I have written 100 word stories for at least four years - that's the equivalent of a novella!
Which brings me to the book I have actually written - A Volcanic Race - which is available on Amazon in print at the bargain price of £6.39 - or as an ebook. Click on the cover at the top of this page to follow the link to Amazon.
That's after you've left a comment here, naturally :)
