Sunday 160: Liquorz-n-Artz

Her art wasn't selling too well, so she expanded and added new merchandise. The beer goggles worked like a charm, making hers the most popular art in the state.

55 - San Marcial

It's not there any more. I don't know why they bother with a sign. For almost a hundred years the town has been gone, buried under silt without so much as a wall or fence post to mark the spot. There is just this sign. Don't bother looking for a town. It died years ago.

55 - The Quarry

First there were rocks and grasses, insects and small woodland creatures. Trees stretched toward the heavens, providing safe haven for passing birds. Then men came with machines and iron, ripping nature asunder for profit and glory. Soon business fancies changed, opportunities moved farther afield, and the men went away. Grass and trees came once again.

55 - Cat Show

The indignity was almost too much for a feline to bear: feathers waved in her face and voices urging her to perform ridiculous stunts while strangers stood on the sidelines watching and laughing. All of this must be endured for what? Just a bit of dried kibble, salmon-flavored. Muffin was having no part of it.

He acknowledged it was true and took her hand. Facing one's troubles alone was a fool's game. Better a peninsula than an island.

55 - Departure

She gazed out the window at the tarmac. Was this really necessary, and did it have to be today? Was it too late to go back, admit her guilt and start afresh?

As if reading her mind, the old man next to her said, "You don't have to do it, Miss."

"Oh yes I do."
