Church Pew or a Barstool - Micro-Fiction ~ #fiftywords
Received my coin today.
30 days down and a lifetime to go.
Apology after apology. Forgiveness after forgiveness.
But she won't return my calls.
Emails, texts, letters...no response.
I knew I had blown it. How could I have been so foolish?
Screw it. Barkeep, pour me a Bells Two Hearted.
I just found out I am intolerant to alcohol, ha ha I don't even get the choice, I just have to stop. As a Native-Irish-Canadian woman I find the whole ordeal very offensive to me. ha ha I wanted to own a bar one day... sigh I guess I will have to go for a cafe.
Anyways nice short story - lot of feelings behind it.
That's terrible news! Sorry to hear that. I have an old friend who is allergic to alcohol, which is probably the same as being intolerant I would imagine. A cafe is probably your next best bet after a bar, people like their coffee almost as much as they love their hooch.
Glad you liked the story!
Nice. And that's a great name for a beer! I haven't heard of it.
What's the coin, @intothewild? (BTW, be sure to use only creative commons images, or images you own, per the rules in the post. Thanks!)
Bell's Two Hearted is one of my favorite IPA's, I actually had two of them last night now that I think of it. The coin (and story) is in reference to someone getting clean, in this circumstance, abstaining from alcohol. At certain bench marks (30 days, 90 days, a year, and so on) people get coins in honor of their dedication to being sober.
Sorry about that, I thought I read if I sourced the image it was ok. But sounds good.
