T-Shirt Wisdom Wednesday (2405)

1 Reply

Welcome to another edition of T-Shirt Wisdom Wednesday. This hump day feature is precisely what it sounds like. Every other Wednesday (bi-weekly) I will post a graphic that is funny, poignant, witty, honest, crude, toothsome, with bite, or just plain old ridiculous. Some I’ll have plagiarized directly from a chest near you. Others may not have been spotted in the wild but should be out there.

Think nerds meet Anatomy 101. Thanks to the engineering department at Greg’s Blog we can provide our readers with this highly accurate orthographic representation of the female mammary glands. Ummm.. Yes… I said boobs!

Suggestions are always welcome. If you come across something you believe should be pasted across someone’s chest and paraded around publicly jot it down and send me a message. If it makes the cut, I will whip up a graphic design template and use it in a future post. Any suggestions used will include a shout-out and link to your blog on the week it posts.

Welcome to Four Line Fiction, a pix-to-prose challenge. The concept for the challenge is simple. Every second Tuesday (bi-weekly) I will post an image I have captured myself, featured from another blog or plucked from the Interweb. You as the writer are to use that image as a point of inspiration to craft a masterpiece of fiction in four lines. And now for this week’s image…

In this week’s symmetrical image, a woman walks across a slush covered Brooklyn Bridge with her back to the camera. She is holding a purple umbrella, which stands out against the near monochromatic background, to shield herself from the falling snow.

This week is volcano themed. My little guy is on a geology kick ATM. He is endlessly fascinated by rock tumbling, tectonic plate and fault lines, earthquakes, and volcanos. So, when I asked for help with Five Word Weekly it was no surprise that geology terminology erupted like molten magma. We finally settled on the volcano theme as we narrowed down the plethora of responses he’d provided:

caldera | eruption | flow | lava | mantle

Out of Control

Out of Control

Fast and furious, consumed by a fire intentionally set to burn out of control. For three weeks we ate, slept, and breathed each other, we couldn’t get enough. Leading us here, all hopped up on adrenaline and desire in a log cabin on the edge of nowhere.

It started with no expectations, just a chance meeting in that little coffee shop on West 92nd. She caught me staring at her as she flipped her head nonchalantly in my direction. Like a deer caught in the headlights, all I could do was shoot her a smile. It must have been something special because it pierced her heart with an accuracy that would have impressed Cupid. Before we could even process the tidal wave that engulfed us both, we were tangled in each other’s arms, like bramble left to grow wild.

It wasn’t just sex either, it was more. Visceral and at the same time intellectual. Intensely passionate yet soft and meandering. Physical yet vibrating on a higher plane.

But as fires burn they mellow. Without more fuel they fade and eventually the last embers blink out. I could have handled that, even anticipated sifting through the ashes but who could have foreseen its abrupt end? The ring of her phone sucking all traces of oxygen from the room. The flames extinguished in a suffocating instant.

I’m left to watch through the window as she sits like a ghost on the edge of the dock. I don’t know who called or what was spoken but as I watch her in the breeze, I can feel the moment slipping away. Dissolving into the landscape one grain at a time. By sunrise, she will be gone…

Do you struggle with New Year’s Resolution. I think I purposely pick ones that I know I can’t keep, and this week’s tee captures that sentiment perfectly. Welcome to the first edition of T-Shirt Wisdom Wednesday for 2024. This hump day feature is precisely what it sounds like, and I’ve cooked up something appropriate for the season.

Check back because I will post a new graphic every other Wednesday (bi-weekly). If I hit the mark, they will be funny, poignant, witty, honest, crude, toothsome, with bite, or just plain old ridiculous. Some I’ll have plagiarized directly from a chest near you. Others may not have been spotted in the wild but should be out there.

Suggestions are always welcome. If you come across something you believe should be pasted across someone’s chest and paraded around publicly jot it down and send me a message.
