It is time for Stream of Consciousness Saturday again. This week’s prompt is “book.” Linda Hill advises to use any meaning of the word as your theme or simply use the work in the post. If you would like to join in go to Linda’s link and check it out. Here is the link.
Book by John W. Howell © 2016.
I have to return to the instructions for a moment. Linda says, “use any meaning of the word as a theme.” I had to think hard about the meaning of the word “book.” So here goes nothing. (Which may be a self-fulfilling prophesy)
“Hey man, whatsup?”
“Nuthin much how about you?”
“Yeah, lookin’ forward to vacation.”
“Where you goin’?”
“Gotta book a flight to LA.”
“Cool. What’s in LA.”
“Movie pitch for my book.”
“Aw man. How cool.”
“Yeah, I’m excited to book it out there.”
“When you leavin’?”
“Soon’s I get clear of the panhandle charge.”
“That cop book you for panhandling?”
“Sure did and all I was doin’ was asking folks for money.”
“Don’t that beat all. Now they got your name in the book.”
“Time I spent at the precinct I should have been hitting the books.”
“Whadda you mean?”
“Study. You know I’m trying to get an MFA degree.”
“Well. I heard, but how about that movie deal?”
“Not a done deal. The producer has book problems.”
“Book problems? What’s that mean?”
“He doesn’t know how he’s goin’ to handle the script in some of the action scenes.”
“They can be worked out right?”
“Maybe with a book of matches.”
“Oh, oh. That bad?”
“Let’s talk later. Wanna grab dinner?”
“Ah. I’m booked up tonight. How bout tomorrow.”

I’m sure they can get some computer graphics to handle it.

Some funny lines. Like being booked for panhandling because all you were doing was asking for money. 🙂
