I’m back with Earnest and Marge with a six sentence story that includes “rip” in 99 words that also includes “boots”.
***
The trail started with boots, the boots preceding pants; sharp eyes might notice that the smaller pair of work pants on the floor had been mended. Those same eyes will follow the trail to its conclusion, a bed somewhat stressed by the additional weight it carried into the morning, the morning Earnest Biggs did not wake up alone, which brought him some happy anxiousness.
Shyly, cautiously, he rolled over towards his bedmate, ripping a fart as he did so. He reddened, but her laughter and admirable retort put him at ease.
“I always return fire”, she said.
“Mornin’, Marge.”
Sounds like my house!
Hahaha!

This is the touching sequel to the longer story in “TUFF Love”. Norah made me do it.

The best kind of love is the one the fits like a comfortable pair of boots.

Well I sure love my boots, but don’t you go accusing me of romance writing again. This here is just going back to the original plan of a 99 word six sentence story that has a fart in it for Norah. Because I am just putting puzzles together and amusing myself.

LOL! I loved this one. The first fart of a relationship, is there anyone who doesn’t think about, or worry about, that?!

Those were magical times. Now it’s the magical fruit of rip-roaring comfort zones.
