Stream of Consciousness Saturday – Prompt “Pant.”

~ John W. Howell

Stream of Consciousness

It is Stream of Consciousness Saturday time again. This weeks prompt is “Pant.” Linda Hill says we can use it alone or part of another word. If you would like to participate, go to Linda’s blog and read how. Here is the link. https://lindaghill.com/2017/08/18/the-friday-reminder-and-prompt-for-socs-aug-1917/

Pant by John W. Howell © 2017

“Are you telling me the new occupants of our rental apartment are a bunch of pantomiming pantywaists?”

“Yeah, they are mimes. Don’t get your panties in a bunch.”

“Hey watch it. I don’t wear panties.”

“It is an expression. Any participant in civil discourse knows that.”

“You saying I’m dumb?”

“No. I’m saying your lack of sophistication runs rampant through your understanding of things.”

“Hmm. Sounds like a flippant remark to me.”

“Whoa. You just surprised the pants off of me.”

“They are still on.”

“Whoops back to a social nonparticipant.”

“Huh?”

“The expression had nothing to do with pants on or off.”

“Yeah, I get that. Sometimes I wish a wild animal would come along and bite you.”

“Any in mind?”

“Given this discussion, I would say a panther.”

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.
