Paris Photographer – Louis Paulin
The red-headed woman had been in various places in France, enjoying the cafes and vineyards, and also managed to get a bit of money on the side, since she had to earn a living in some way or another – a hustle here and a hustle there, but at least her lovely ruby red ring had been fixed.
She was so happy to draw up in her little red car to look up to see her attic apartment in Paris; she parked her car several streets away and hurried to buy some things.
She went to the nearest small supermarket, threaded her way to the counter where she would find a few things to keep her going – a baguette and a squishy cheese and a carton of fava beans which she would cook with some butter and garlic, very tasty.
She walked up to the top floor, unlocking her door, dumped her big bag on the table, then opened her double French doors, how lovely to be home; she had idly thought about the two gargoyles since she always enjoyed their company.
She had been perusing on her smartphone to see what had been going on over those last few months and, of course, the main story had grabbed her the most had been the Louvre Museum in that amazing dare-devil heist and all those gorgeous jewellery stolen, almost to order, she’d thought; could it have been the two gargoyles who had a hand in that heist?
But surely not!

Excellent story continuation, Chris! Loved your sly use of “a hustle here and a hustle there” from Lou Reed’s “Walk on the Wild Side” song. 🙂 And if the gargoyles were involved in the Louvre heist, they are even more multitalented than we thought!

Couldn’t resist to have a little bit of fun with those two, and of course that made up woman (just because she has red hair). Thanks so much, Dave.

I love the picture you paint of living in an attic apartment in Paris. As far as the gargoyles are concerned, I wouldn’t put it pass them to be behind a brazen robbery at the Louvre.

Funny that, just look at what I wrote on my notepad earlier – can you see? Yup, ‘fictional character, Inspector Clouseau’. Definitely an option. 😉
