I would be honoured indeed, Gaby ~ Quiet contemplation

. As long as it's not viewed as jumping the start gun.

This is awesome!

Would you mind if I add this to "The G.o.T. Memoirs"

? It would fit there perfectly.

I wondered about that but decided that, for the sake of the story, this parlor stays open!

In response to "Patience"

An enjoyable read. Around here, all the ice cream parlors close for the winter, so I guess I'll just sit in the parking lot and if anyone asks if I need something I'll answer, “Nope. Guess I’ll just wait for Spring.”

In response to "Power Man"

I doubt it. The point of these microscopic stories is that they last for 100 words and that's it. So the most I can hope from them is a quick grin or thought and the reader moves on. This one depends a lot on irony, I suppose.

I suspect we've all had experiences like this, TJ. But this one came at a time when I was really looking for something to write about. Hence the "heaven" comment. ;)

Bad News for Elna

Bad News for Elna

“I’m sorry, Elna, but the decision has been made. The library has to be modernised.”

Elna could not help thinking that he did not look very sorry. In fact, her boss, Blair, seemed rather smug to be announcing such news.

“I understand,” said Elna meekly.

“So you know it means you will be replaced?”

“Of course,” replied Elna. “Will I be reassigned?”

“I believe there’s an opening in records. You’d be ideal for that.”

“When will I be moving?”

“The human will take a week to acclimatise. Then you’d need a name change from Electronic Librarian Natural Access, of course.”

For Drabble Activity 2024 Week 1
