Tuesday – Anything Possible – Kreative Kue #299 by Keith Channing

~ John W. Howell

In Keith’s words.

“Using this photo (below) as inspiration, write a short story, flash fiction, scene, poem; anything, really; even just a caption for the photograph. Either put it (or a link to it) in a comment or email it to me at keithchanning@gmail.com before 6pm next Sunday (if you aren’t sure what the time is where I live, this link will tell you). If you post it on your own blog or site, a link to this page would be appreciated, but please do also mention it in a comment here.

Go on. You know you want to. Let your creativity and imagination soar. I shall display the entries next Monday.

The photo.

“Hold on, everyone.”

“I can’t see my feet.”

“Looks like they are running out of shrimp.”

“Did you honestly just sneeze?”

“Where’s the help around here.”

“All you can eat for a buck?”

“Harold, you said this was an exclusive place.”

“Has anyone seen my wing?”

“Chicken wing.”

“Nah, stupid. My wing.”

“Hey, you there. That’s my serving.”

“Get your foot outa of mine then.”

“Where’s the manager?”

“Right here under y’all.”

“I’m never coming back.”

“Don’t let the door smack ya where the good Lord cracked ya.”

“Waiter. Wheres my wine?”

“You are kidding, right?”

“Yeah, make it a birdbath.”

“Anybody want to swarm after the meal?”

“Excuse me, madam. Take your wings off me. I’m not your husband.”

“You sure look like him.”

“I’ve been told that a lot.”

“Who wants dessert?”

“Is it included?”

“Yes.”

“What is it?”

“Suet paired with sunflower seeds.”

“Oh, yes, please.”

      1. Background – that was less than half the total number of starlings that descend on our garden regularly. For reasons I can’t begin to fathom, it seems always to happen shortly after Clare has scattered a couple of handfuls of mealworms around.

    1. Still off this morning until 6:30. They are doing rolling blackouts to conserve energy. It’s 9 degrees F right now. We are gals to see the power in time for coffee. (Yes, our needs are down to the basics.) Have a good one. 😂

  8. Just when I think I’ve read your best you come up with something even better. This is now officially my favorite yet. Notice the “yet” part?
    Absolutely hysterical, John, and so very, very clever. I loved every word of it!

  11. One of your best, John! I loved it! 😂 I needed to laugh and who knew a swarm of birds could evoke it. But in the hands of a clever writer, anything is possible.

  16. OMG I’ve never seen such a frenzy except our boys at dinner time! Great story, John. I could just imagine those conversations actually occurring. I hope you are doing okay with the snow and power outages. Take care.

  23. Hi, John. I’m glad to see that you are still able to keep your blog going. Sadly, I have not. But I hope to be back home by Friday and I’ll be back in the swing of things. This was entertaining!

    1. Thank you, Jan. Yes, I have a personal hot spot that works well. I try to get everything scheduled while the power is on since the hot spot doesn’t have the bandwidth to handle photos etc with any speed. Stay warm. I hear Oncor has stopped the power-outs. 😁
