Over the Fence
“I don’t know what those things are called, do I? I’m not a gardener. No, definitely not. I mean it looks okay, although some veg is more productive, as long as it’s something I like. You know, like toms, they are nice. I’m not keen on the green stuff though.”
“Are you talking to yourself?”
“What, me?”
“Yes, you!”
“Well, I suppose so… and what’s wrong with that?”
“Nothing, I guess.”
(silence)
“Are you a little lonely, perhaps?”
“No.”
“Really?”
“No.”
(silence)
“Look, I’m busy. Okay?
“You don’t want to tell me what you’re doing?”
(muttering)
“Alright, I’ll tell you…”

Hmm, interesting… a hickey? No thank you. But Bob and the Beatles although they met, no songs were made, even though it was Abbey Road (I think).

This is great, Chris. Love the persistence of the other … since the first is willing to share, and all, even if somewhat grudgingly.

Such a pretty photo – good one, Dale. I started to write some kind of flower, but then something began to form… ah, good fence – so useful!

Thank you, Chris. And I love that you used the fence instead of the flower. I love these challenges (especially when it’s my photo) because I love the variety of interpretations.

At first I felt a little sad reading this story because one of the characters sounded so lonely. But then I guess the conversation could prosper into something deeper, meaningful and joyful like it was suggested in the comments.
