“Why do you do it?”

“Do what?”

“Manage to have every young woman on the beach watch you walk by?”

“Why darling, I have no idea what you are talking about.”

“You do, you old goat.”

“It must be the cane. I got it special in India.”

“I don’t think that is it.”

“What is it then?”

“That ridiculous Speedo.”

I have been working in business for over forty years and now have the time to work in special areas of interest. My passion has always been to create compelling stories of fiction. I have authored six novels and am working on my Seventh. The first novel is still in manuscript form and being utilized as a door stop in the laundry room. The second is a contemporary fiction novel of 89,000 words and is complete and I am currently seeking a publisher. I also write poetry but have not had the guts to share any with anyone. The one time I read a piece to a person their only comment was, “it doesn’t rhyme.” I will continue to write and hopefully my blog, Fiction Favorites at www.johnwhowell.com will provide some entertainment and an interesting thought or two. I live in the Austin area with my wife Molly and an assortment of loving pets.

  2. LOL!!!! Yep, Speedos grab the attention but unless worn by someone like Michael Phelps, that attention is anything but positive. Great story!

    1. Ha ha ha. I remember taking the kids swimming and forgot my suit. All they had in the pool shop were Speedo’s. The kids doubled over in laughter. I didn’t leave the water until we were finished. 😀

  16. Great job, John, but it brought back a frightening scene I witnessed on a beach off the coast of Venezuela many years ago. It was a 70+ year old man wearing a Speedo THONG! OMG! I’ve never been more traumatized in my life.
