Fiction Friday.

[bdar]

At the request of my friend Susan, who works a late shift at a hotel and who a few months ago crocheted me a wonderful scarf, I am posting this week's story as close to 12:01 am on Friday morning as possible.

This week's words were snapdragon, matchbook, tobogganing, acquiescence, and opulentFirst five words suggested to me will be used in next

Comments

Words...

lollygag, shenanigans, peccatophobic, misadventure, velveteen

Excellent piece. I really do enjoy reading you.

Sorry, I forgot to restate my arbitrary rules. One word suggestion per person...trying to solicit randomness. Pick the one you'd most like me to use next week.

And thank you for your kind comment, I appreciate it.

Ah! Sorry 'bout that. Then I'll stick with peccatophobic. (One of my all time favorites.) :-)

As always, well done, sir.

Is there (anywhere) a collected works of Bilal Dardai that includes all of your extended blog posts and short stories? Because I would pay for that, right now, today.

Oh, and a word:

picaresque

[bdar]

Not as yet, although I'm thinking that if I'm able to sustain this exercise for a year I'll seriously compile all of these into a book called Prompt.

Lovely stuff.

"Defenestrate" is a favourite of mine...
