Blue light reflected off the ceiling as the phone buzzed angrily on the nightstand. He flipped the annoyed device open and thumbed the buttons that would take him to the inbox where she waited. Through the haze of half-wakefulness he smiled as he read. How the hell did she always know just what to say?

Constructive criticism and suggestions are always welcome. Respectfully stated differences of opinion are equally welcome. Love feeds are, of course, graciously accepted at any time.
Spammers, hate-mongers, and those who place other people in compromising or dangerous positions... comment at your peril. I have a zero-tolerance policy for such.
Great 55!
ReplyDeleteMmmm, those kind of messeges are the nicest ones ;)
ReplyDeleteThat was awesome Mojo! Isn't it funny how even though we are woken up and annoyed that a call from someone we want to hear cancels out anger.
