THE HONEYMOON
Few knew about the castle hidden inside the
island. It was the perfect, romantic honeymoon venue.
Mike was grateful his boss had decided
to share the location with him. It was
his bonus for the work he had already done, although Mike was sure there would
be a huge price to pay when he got back.
Marian checked
her handbag for the umpteenth time for her passport and new marriage
certificate. Hey, she was a married
woman now, not always the modern way of doing things but as she and Mike were
both pushing 30 they thought it was about time they ‘tied the knot.’
Mike grabbed her
hand and squeezed her fingers, she did look a bit green about the gills but hopefully
the seasickness would pass once she was on land and secluded inside the castle
walls for two glorious weeks.

I know how Marian felt. Now good on water at all! Great read, especially after I just made reservations at the beach for hubby and I. :)
ReplyDeleteYup, it's easy to get green about the gills thinking about where that island's located. Good flash.
ReplyDeleteAnother fine post for MFtS. You knocked this one out of the park. Miriam's continual checking of her bag is something I could identify with. I'm always afraid of losing my passport! Nicely written.
ReplyDeleteVery realistic depiction of the characters.
ReplyDeleteGreen about the gills; is that a hint to her nature? A little worried for Michael, lol.
ReplyDeleteLoved the picture.
Wow, a perfect story for a picture prompt. I love your take on prompt and needed to read this again and again :)
ReplyDeleteInteresting read. Lovely take on the prompt!
ReplyDeleteSounds like a lovely place for a honeymoon. Probably worth all the extra work when he gets back!
ReplyDeleteThe characters were well portrayed in just a few words. Nice.
