Presented here is an excerpt from "Designated Driver" a story in my newest collection "Tiny Magic" (No release date yet.)
The set-up is two old friends, one happily married, one a mooning bachelor, sharing drinks one night. Trust me, you will love the ending to this one!
Dave sensed my mood.
"Cheer up, Sam, things are bound to brighten up. Maybe even tonight."
"Yeah," I replied, "One of the models from the Sport's Illustrated swimsuit issue is going to step out of the pages and give me a hummer!"
"Now that is a plotline you should include in that novel you are always starting but never finish."
"Well, it would capture the entire horny guy demographic."
"You know I'd buy a copy."
"So, I'd sell three, you, me, and my mom!"
We killed some beers and tried to watch a bit of television. Even with over one-hundred stations there was nothing to watch.
"What I wouldn't give to be Patrick," I moaned.
"That ship has sailed, my friend. Jill's so into that guy, she'd ignore you even if you had six million in the bank and a score of "sexiest man alive" magazine covers to your credit."
"How did you land a fox like Vicky, anyway?"
"By not appearing desperate for one thing and supporting her decision to live the small lifestyle full-time."
"Yeah. At this point,t I'd settle for a semi-sentient blow up doll."
"Oh, it's not that bad!"
