The moon is dark.
The wolves are quiet.
Makes for an eerie feeling.

He is the man who never plans for anything. Just wings it, and he is fine with that.

He’s known as the “I said it, but I didn’t say it” guy.

Whenever he has anything to say, he rambles like a babbling brook.

The prophet loves to spread his doom and gloom, while imbibing with a bottle of his favorite whiskey.

His daily regimen of 30 some odd years for lunch is, baloney and cheese with mustard on wheat. He never believed in having anything different.

He is known as the master of manipulation.

She only ate toast on Tuesdays and Thursdays. The reason is, both days begin with the letter “T.”

She is standing on the railing of the fourth floor balcony, threatening to jump. A passerby, who actually knew her, looked up, and shouted up and asked, “what are you doing?” She replied, “its all over, so I’m going to end it all by jumping down to the ground.” He pleaded with her not to do it. She said, “I have to.” ‘Please don’t try to talk me out of it.”

In the mean time, a small started to gather, waiting to see what she is going to do.

She hollered down to the man that knows her, and asked him, how much you want to wager, that I will jump off this railing? He said, “$10.00.” She laughed. “Why are you laughing?” he asked. She said, “let’s make it more worth while bet.” Okay he said, “25.00.” She said, “$50.00.” Another person shouted, “$75.00.” Another said, “$100.00.” She said, “your on.”

All of the people watching, now started to shout “jump!” And they shouted it a few times, and finally, she jumped backwards, onto the floor of the balcony. The people were disappointed, especially the ones who lost their bets, and she was leaning over the railing, yelling “I’m on my way down to collect the money, you chumps owe me.”

Later in the day, she is running different ideas in her head, as to see who or how many people, she can fool and make some easy money.

There’s a group sitting in chairs, and a few others sprawled on the floor, are reading lines for a casting call. They all have hopes of getting the chance of acting in a Broadway play. In the end, it will be one male, and a female that will make the cut. Needless to say, there were a few frayed nerves, edginess, and one pacing around the room, which was all said and done, happened to be the one that got a role in the production. The only time he did any acting, was back in the fifth grade.

As for the others who didn’t make it, some of them had prior acting experience. In the scheme of things, some of them knew that working on Broadway or off Broadway, is like a roll of the dice. Make it, or break it.

The man tells me he has a real exciting job. “So, what do you do that excites you about your job?” He says, “splitting atoms using plastic cutlery.” I was dumb founded and speechless. After a minute or two, he asked me what I did for work. My reply, “cleaning up the bullshit people leave, as some do make a real mess, and it is an endless task.”

After that rather dull conversation, we parted ways.

A way for him to enjoy peace and solitude, he likes to go for a sail on the calm, blue water.

His mind was playing tricks, due to a lack of sleep, and the strong black coffee wasn’t doing him any good. All he could do, is sit in his favorite chair, and stare out the window.

He said ”I’ve nothing to say, especially to you,” and off he went, into the dead of night.

The couple in the restaurant are sitting across from each, enjoying their meal and the conversation. She was very happy to be with him, and to make the evening more enjoyable, she took off one of her shoes, and with nylon clad foot, moved it up his leg very slowly, and it brought a smile. She winked, then put her shoe back on. Well she said… Bingo! He paid the bill, and off they went.

Sitting passively at the window with her mug of tea, she knows that everything is right in her own little corner of the world.

Beware, he is on a mission, to find the culprit who stole his wallet.

Sitting at the bay window, with their warm mugs
of coffee, the husband and wife of 40 plus years
of marriage, are happily watching the children
playing in the high snow banks. It brought big
smiles, as they remembered when they did same
exact thing.

Cherished memories they will always have.

He talks from both sides of his mouth.

The elderly couple are at a complete

loss, of what they see as of the blight

of their once, and proud beautiful neighborhood.

They both wished they had never came back,

as it brought tears to their eyes.

He took a long walk
on a short pier,
and never was to be
seen again.

A man without a plan.
He rather wing it, and
hopes it works.

The flap jacks and pancakes
along with the coffee, are
all the rave, at the 24/7/365
mid-town diner. The patrons
always leave full and happy,
and that makes the owners
who are identical twins happy
too.

The young newly Wed couple
bought a condo apartment, which is
on the third floor. They were aghast
seeing that the rear balcony, has sweeping
views of the city’s landfill, swarming with
crows, seagulls and pigeons. The odors
emanating from there, wasn’t exactly
pleasant.
