Here’s my piece of flash in response to Charli Mill’s flash fiction challenge:
A Carried Jezebel
Annie glanced at her scrawny husband. A glance was all it took. He couldn’t lift her, no carried wife could she ever be. No threshold over which she could be taken. Adam was different. His different scared her. She couldn’t help but imagine Adam lifting her onto his shoulders and running to the ocean, his bare skin wet with the salty water, his hard, taut muscles flexing. What would happen thereafter? Would he leave her to the fishes, or scoop her up with dreamy kisses? She knew what she would become: a carried Jezebel; perhaps she’d like that more.

That was a fun, little story and a nice response to the prompt!
Thank you so much Priscilla glad you enjoyed. 🙂
I like this idea, Marje, very clever.
Thank you Robbie. I do so love a bit of flash!
I had a picture of them skinny dipping.Her piggy backed into the ocean. Then I maybe need to tame my imagination. A good response and fun.
Oooh. This almost needs a sequel so we can find out what happened. 🙂
Could be an idea for a story! I always wonder about writing a romance…
I like a little romance. This has some darkness too, which I think is intriguing. 🙂
It seems that I always veer to the darkness! Lol. Even when it is not necessarily my intention.
Ha ha. Me too. Gotta love it!
Uh, oh, sounds like a desperate housewife, ready to be carried away.
Yes pretty desperate! Lol.
She gave it some thought and then she gave in! Nice pacing, had a tense romance genre feel with maybe something darker lurking beneath.
Thanks Charli. One to develop perhaps. 🙂
