Back on the Road

Mr Cushing had opened all the doors on the limo, as everyone piled in the seats, he looked up along the road to see some awkward customers who were coming very much nearer; it was time to close the doors and go – ‘I will drive like the wind now,’ he said.

The two gargoyles were slightly inept as they climbed into the back, although granted they were careful not to damage the upholstery, but they were a little woozy, since they had drunk rather a lot of the special cocktail made by Mr Cushing.

Scatty lay down, staring up to the panoramic roof, where the huge moon and all the lovely stars stared back; while Joan and Francis were having a little smooch.

Meanwhile, Mr Cushing had been driving the limo, as it glided around the outskirts of Paris, it was almost midnight; ‘where should I drop you?’ he asked, ‘we are near Montmartre.’

Everyone suddenly sat up – ‘that’s handy… and of course, haunting time too,’ said one of them – as they all grinned, apart from the red-head woman, ‘I am happy to hop out, just here,’ as she took her big bag and her suitcase, ‘do you want to come too?’ – as the two gargoyles nodded their heads.

Back to the cemetery for us, as their little teeth became more noticeable; but then The Old One said: ‘Mr Cushing, shall we go up together with your limo, we will look down over the city while we turn up the volume.’

    • Montmartre Cemetery is a great place. I have also been there, years ago. The only better one is Pere Lachaise over the other side (wow, that place). Meanwhile, next week, we will find what’s going on around the 18th arrondissement, including the two gargoyles.

  15. It’s not every Gargoyle, drunk or not, would be “careful not to damage the upholstery”!
    No doubt a memorable midnight joyride for the red-head woman.
    A most excellent conclusion to the scene, Chris. A perfect pair to be driving into the city, full moon overhead. Watch out, Paris.
