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!

Beautifully written and a great ending ... if only indeed!! :o)
ReplyDeleteTruly the one advantage of manhood! Loved this one.
ReplyDeleteHa, ha. I totally sympathize.
ReplyDeleteI was so caught up in the moment with your beautifully descriptive scene, I was taken by surprise with your ending. Wonderful story!
ReplyDeleteLove the ending. And the lead-up that makes it even more unexpected.
ReplyDeleteGood 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.
What an ending!
ReplyDelete:D

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.

ReplyDeleteThis was PERFECT! We were just talking yesterday about inventing a pee shooter for women!
ReplyDeleteThis was so beautifully descriptive "rainbow colored snowflakes" - just perfection. And then the twist. Although you described that feeling perfectly too :) I really enjoyed this! Kat
ReplyDeleteFunny and well written! I really enjoyed this!
ReplyDeleteYou set such a beautifully written scene, then wham! Great twist. Having been fishing with my husband many times, I can certainly empathize. Will spare you the details of our solution to the problem...........cj
