The Promise
“Ready?” Lacey asked.
“Yes,” Drew responded, already lying down. “but promise me one thing. Promise you’ll never lie to me because if you do, and I find out, it’s all over.”
“I promise. Do you promise to do the same?”
“I promise.”
“Perfect,” she smiled. The metronome started ticking as he allowed himself to relax.
This is something everyone should keep in mind when entering a relationship. Fun is to be had, not harm done, and lies undermine it all. Keep your promises and bliss will follow, as simple as that.
The Enchantress of Oz
“Uh-oh,” said the Cowardly Lion.
“We’ve been here before,” Scarecrow added.
“We’re walking in circles!” Tin Man concluded.
“Time for a new path then,” Dorothy teased. Directing their gaze towards the yellow spiraling brick road, she started singing:
Somewhere over the rainbow,
Joy you’ll find
Let my voice be your guide
Deep inside your mind…
Blame the radio for this one. I’m sure you’re familiar with the classic song from The Wizard of Oz, right? My version of Dorothy isn’t as innocent as the original, obviously.
Third Time…
The stranger knocked on the first door, looking for shelter. He was immediately given the boot.
He knocked on the second door. Dogs were unleashed, bit him hard.
He knocked on the third door. She showed him a pendant, brought him to heel.
Third time’s a charm, indeed. He will never be a stranger again.
Finishing the month with a twist on an old English adage and I guess that says it all.
