photo prompt @Jill Wisoff
The Big Apple. Trip of a lifetime. Looking up at the Empire State as the wind whips up East 34th, tangling my perfect holiday hair. The smell of New York – hot dog stands, gasoline and some sweet lingering scent blown in from the East River. Manolo’s tip-tapping along the sidewalk in time to music pumping from the hottest night club. Wishing this moment could last forever.
Manolos’ indeed! Fluffy slippers padding against the floral-patterned carpet these days. Never did make it to New York. I put the photo down. Sure was nice of my granddaughter to send it to me.
(100 words. On the nose)
My latest attempt at a 100-word story for Rochelle Wisoff Fields’ #FridayFictioneers challenge. Feels like the structure is too similar to the one I attempted last week. I need to mix things up a bit!

Yup. Fluffy slippers do it for me, too, these days 🙂

Me too! Never been a high heels girl – that bit was definitely fiction!

Me too. She has such a vivid imagination I think she’d have had some wild holidays in her youth.

Can’t see you in Manolo’s. Doc Martins however…….! Can you tip tap in those?

Oh, that’s quite poignant – who doesn’t have unrealised dreams? At least she’s comforting herself with photos from her granddaughter.

Dear Kirst,
Perhaps there’s still time for her to take that trip of a lifetime. Nicely done.
Shalom,
Rochelle
