Day 34: 5 Minute Freewrite - Prompt: Big Wave
Well, the power is off in town again so here I am drinking beer before lunch. There will be friends coming along soon I'm sure. Dave has a generator and so the beer is cold and there's a fan to help keep the balmy heat at bay. Dave just came down from upstairs. It's hilarious to me how he doesn't think twice about sitting around in his boxers while customers are here. Uh-oh, he's going for a bottle of red wine. I'm not even going to look at him. When he does that it's because he's having one of his moods and I have learned the hard way it's best to avoid him at such a time. He's a good friend and a real easy going guy most of the time but when he's down it's best to stay away. He's like a big grizzly bear waking early from hibernation. Most folks think he's called Big Wave Dave because he likes to surf. San Juan del Sur is famous for some of the best waves in the world.
But that's not it...it's due to his dramatic mood swings...like a big wave that can crash down on you. I give a polite nod and mind my drink.
Here's the original post for the challenge
This is great!!! So glad you are giving this freewrite thing a try!! Today's prompt: https://steemit.com/freewrite/@mariannewest/day-35-5-minute-freewrite-prompt-bittersweet
I want to say thanks for organizing this. I am here to improve my writing skills and get to know some good folks and this exercise helps with both. You rock.
That was awesome! I enjoyed that straight to the point matter of fact story very much, it has to be true right? 👍
Actually, yes. Every detail but from a few years back. It was a repeating story until I finally managed to get my home on solar power. The power goes off a lot here and you get so hot sitting inside you have to get out and do something. The gringo panacea....cold beer :-) Thanks for the re-steem!
Oh wow. I hope my husband doesn't read this one... although I guess "big Wave Byn doesn't quite flow as smoothly, but the big waves of mood swings definitely fit!
:-) We all have those kind of days. Some more than others.
Small town guy myself I can imagine the story here :)
