The Friday Reminder and Prompt for #SoCS March 7/2020

Figure by John W. Howell © 2020

“Go figure.”

“What?”

“It just figures that this week’s prompt would be something that I could get my teeth into.”

“So get your teeth into it, already.”

“You don’t understand.”

“I guess not. Tell me.”

“The word figure can be used in several ways.”

“So use it.”

“Not so easy. I have to figure out  a strategy.”

“Um-hum.”

“What do you mean by that?”

“You, the panster’s pantster needs a strategy? I don’t think so.”

“How do you figure?”

“I don’t think you need to plan. I figure you can just let yourself go and that will be it.”

“You figure?”

“Yup.”

“I was going to describe our neighbor.”

“Which one?”

“The one across the street.”

“Ah. The one with the shapely figure. I could have guessed.”

“Wait a minute. I could write about the guy next door. He cuts a fine figure of a man.”

“That is actually my place to observe.”

“Men can comment on other men?”

“Sure, but when you talk to figure, it seems a little odd.”

“Don’t you ever admire the figure of another woman?”

“Well, sure. That’s different.”

“How?”

“Go figure.”

“What.”

“You stumped me for once.”

“Heh, heh, heh.”

“Shut up and finish your figure prompt before I figure out a way to get back at you.”

“You could throw a barley pop in my face.”

“I figure we will end up there eventually.”

“Smart woman.”

“Not an ending that’s tough to figure out.”

  3. I figured you’d knock this one out of the park, John. You didn’t let me down. Nice job. So, when are the views around the neighborhood going to feature the fine figures of Lakewood?

      1. It was hard enough to admit when you (a professional writer) beat me, but now all the readers are better at this than I am. I’m sinking fast, John!!

  11. It’s a wild guess, but I think you had fun (and maybe a few visions) as you wrote this story. 😀

  12. Well, John, I figure you did a pretty good job with this one, but right now I’ve got a stack of tax returns waiting for my attention, so I better go do some figuring. Happy Saturday!
