Welcome to Friday Fictioneers, the best weekly flash fiction around. Join our merriment, or just enjoy the other stories. Rochelle Wisoff-Fields makes it hard to resist. Check out the details here.
I am honored to have my photo featured this week. It is of a bathroom in Barbados, strangely enough. I found it striking, to say the least. However, why it took me to the continuation of this story, this morning… is the mystery of writing. Click on these links to read parts one, two, and three, if you’re interested.
I always welcome constructive feedback or a thoughtful comment. My goal for 2014 is to really build my blog and FB page. It’s my birthday (1/9), so help me celebrate by stopping by Tales From the Motherland, or the TFTM Facebook page, and hit Like. I will smile all day. Thanks for reading!

“Joni Mitchell?” Henry nodded toward the young woman wiping the counter.
“Sorry? Joni, who?”
“The song you were singing– Both Sides Now by Joni Mitchell.”
“Maybe. Something catchy I heard. You know it?” She grabbed a ketchup.
“It’s a song about love, my wife Marjorie’s favorite–” His voice trailed off as she poured his coffee.
“Does she sing it too?” She asked absently.
“She’s gone now… Along with my fairy tales of love.”
She turned back around with napkins in her hand. “What was that?”
“Nothing.” Henry stared at the milky cloud in his coffee and stirred it silently.
Now, enjoy Joni Mitchell, singing one of my favorite songs:

LOVE that photo!

Hey Lillian! So good when you come by. 😀 Hard to know what will happen with these characters, as the photos dictate it.
