Ed Grimley is adjusting to his life as a garden gargoyle. Unlike his big brothers, he isn’t part of a cathedral restoration or conservation project high above some city or town square. So, they tend to look down on his chosen occupation as a garden gargoyle; small stuff to them.
Ed always smiled. He has an advantage. No Quasimodo or stone mason types touching him. Only the beautiful lady with the soft, sexy hands. Regularly, she picks Ed up, caresses him saying “I wonder next to the Phlox or the impatiens.” Then, she changes her mind, and rearranges him and his position again and again. What a life!

I can tell by his smile that he’s a happy guy.

He’s a bit cold right now, but still smiling. Not my warm hands of which he dreams, lol.

LOL – how I so enjoyed reading this – the subtle nuances and the smallest of details that even pared down, totally paint the story true!
Let the bells ring out – this brought a delight to my mind and heart :)

Thanks, Pat. I wasn’t sure I had a story and I set the prompts!

LOL … well you know, creating prompts is one thing, replying to them is another. And if you’re lucky, sometimes the idea for a story precedes the prompt, sometimes if follows, and then sometimes, the prompt happens, and you find there is no story you can find – which is okay too. :)

Never owned a tutu. Is there an age limit on getting one I wonder?

Lucky Ed. ;)
My Ed is a happy camper too, though his ‘Lady’ is perhaps not so young – maybe young at heart.

As long as your Ed is a happy camper — age is not an issue!

I gather he is enjoying the experience? At least he is being noticed and touched, I imagine the life of the average gargoyle would never be so glamorous?

I doubt it. And much noisy too with all those bells ringing rather than the soothing tones of Ed’s lady’s voice.
