The Pick-Up


Arms swinging wildly, she swam. Desperate to escape her thoughts, she pushed off the wall and struck out for the far end. Blurred vision forced her to pause, but she pressed on again and again.

Finally limp, she pulled herself from the pool, only to be met by the young man’s gaze.

“Come here often?”

*???*

And with that our heroine ran screaming for G-Man's place to escape those few 55 words. But hey,

"It's fun to stay at the Y-M-C-A!"

    1. @Brian: In fact they were Brian! How did you know? Bit of a ego boost though from a young man of 28 (thinking we were same age - teehee!)

      And I tried not to be mean, so left it with a simple thanks, but no. :)

  2. That's definitely an ego boost, Katherine. You gotta give him props for trying, right? Now I'm humming YMCA and will be all night. :)

    1. @Talon: I do indeed Talon. Tried to also play the good guy, helping out an ex-girlfriend (but SINGLE now!) by paying for her appartment and also offer moral support for a friend who was in the pool trying to lose weight.

      I think I will keep checking to see what the Y turns up though ;)

  3. *thunderous applause*

    AWESOME Flash 55, Katherine!

    And I LOVED watching that video! You should have seen me sitting here in my chair; rocking to the beat!

    That brought back so many good memories for me, living in NYC during the 70's and dancing to the Village People.

    *doing the hand movements*

    Y.M.C.A.

    1. @Stranger: More like a high school strutting, "look at me, I'm a stud" kind of way. Mostly harmless. Mainly uninteresting. Definitely a NO!

  9. Yeah, but was he cute?

    It's probably totally uncool to admit it, but I kind of liked the Village People...

    1. @PattiKen: Not quite cute enough Patti. But still good for the ego. :)

      And I don't think that you are admitting a great uncool secret, as I can bop along to the YMCA, with arm movements & lyrics belting forth without a problem.
