CONNECTING FLIGHT
“Are you ready to go to the airport?”
I shuffled through the piles on my desk. “Daddy, I can’t find my passport.”
“Hurry!” He paced the floor.
Then I remembered I only needed my real I.D.
When we arrived at the check-in, panic set in. I’d forgotten to pack. We rushed home where I flung clothes into my purple suitcase: black swimsuits, black skirt, black pants, black…What’s with all this black?
Next-thing-I-know I’m lying in bed. I open my eyes. Somewhat relieved, I look at the clock. It’s 04:00. Dad’s been gone these past thirty years. Gee, I miss him.
*I wrote this shortly after I woke up from this very dream. Wasn’t sure what to call the genre. 😉

And just a little something extra. 😉 It’s kind of long and has nothing to do with Friday Fictioneers. It’s an interview I did a few months ago with my author friend Diane Yates.
