She finds him under wrapper of ordinariness. Mundane sort; only partially formed. Tentative in every action. Yet . . .
He finds her in the la gaudiere sliver of a moment; a shared smile over whiskey neat at the Vent Lounge.
As if invisible hands nudge spines lurchingly towards each’s bar stool; backwards centrifugalical forces they can’t oppose.
Two guardian angels, sharing bourbon on the rocks, shake hands.

yup, I started reading this and thought — hmmm … are these broken angels, i.e. people, but then my mind went to the Wayne and Greg angle and I must say, interesting use of the wordle – it’s … I was about to write “tense” – well, in some ways, yes …. short and perhaps not exactly sweet – but honest – it’s the seal the deal handshake …. and on another note, it’s cool because it’s just icy enough to be read in different ways …. so very much a “cheers” to you :)
thanks for playing the wordle :0

Most welcome.
I have taken to spare writing — tense, terse, or something. I write long in my head; short on the keyboard.

whatever is working for you – meant to get to an email earlier, but since I’m hear in the moment – glad that the appt. wasn’t as medieval as expected – so hope the pain has been good – well not good – you know, the pain hasn’t been too bad – sheesh, I was going to write “hope the pain was good to you today!” …. uhhh brain drain ….

Well, the pain has been good to me so far today by not being too interrupting. I did have my eyes tested, and the resting the chin; lean the forehead forward wasn’t a great position to be in.

glad to hear the pain was manageable – and yup, that simple eye test and position is not good, but at least it’s not really for any extended length of time, – hopefully the effects or after effects didn’t cause too much undue strain or pain …. (((((((Lorraine))))) – oh my, that ended on another whacky rhyming scheme! ;)

And why wouldn’t guardian angels share a drink? Great use of the wordle Lorraine, you are much more succinct than I’ll ever be.

Thanks.
Terse, but succinct? Think it’s a lack of words some days.
Greg and Wayne would never appear deign to appear in such a short short short story, lol.

No, they are perfectly winded! Greg and Wayne need words like they need sushi and ham sandwhiches!

LOL – well I’m not sure really …. perhaps you and I both are treading on a wing and a prayer???
and hahaha – now I’m hungry …. you guessed it …. I want …. but I haven’t got any …. wings!
oh dear, and for this our bounty of I’m not sure what I’ll stuff in my gob, I give thanks …. and yeah, Oh Lord, I don’t want a Benz, but I could use a means of transport, at the very least, a fork ….
