                                                                   Tribute to Manhood

The early November sunshine cast golden rays on the dark and rippled lake water. Oak and cottonwood leaves drifted down like rainbow colored snowflakes pooling near the bank. It was Katie’s favorite fishing season when summer’s whining water toys and party boats were absent. Only dedicated fishermen remained under the weakening rays.



Katie watched Ron’s practiced arm cast out the baited line with the smoothness of a pitcher on the mound, her book open in her lap. The boat rocked to the water’s silent lullaby that made her drowsy. Everything was perfect except for mounting pressure she noticed in her bladder. If only she were a man!

  4. Love the ending. And the lead-up that makes it even more unexpected.

    Good job!

    =)

    PS. I must say, as an aside, that their method of elimination is the only thing I've ever envied about being a man...and even then, only camping trips and long drives.

  5. LOL, didn't expect that at the end. That's exactly why I don't go boating, besides the seasickness, ha! I always so enjoy the descriptive way you write and like coming to see what you write on Saturday. Good job.
