Dribbles and Drabbles -


ZIP

 

Chloe was not known for her patience; quite the reverse.

She was considered too quick, too impulsive, too impetuous.

She thought her detractors too slow, too cautious, too careful.

And now, loathing every minute of it, Chloe is living in their world.

If only that damn zip wire hadn’t snapped.

COMING LAST

  

Scott glanced over his shoulder, ‘Keep up Tim!’, he laughed, ‘or the girls will overtake you.’

‘You go on. I’ll see you later in the pub’, responded Tim.

‘You’ll be last again’, Scott warned and with a cheery wave accelerated away.

Scott’s testosterone fuelled departure was a relief for Tim.

He was not a competitive runner and preferred to jog at a slower pace. Bringing up the rear, as he thought of it, was where he felt most comfortable.

And of course, lagging behind gave him the opportunity to admire all those delightfully jiggling, female bottoms in front of him.
