Take Two...

Each week author Suzanne Burke provides a writing prompt she entitles, Fiction In A Flash Challenge Week. This is her 19th week, and her image prompt is the famous Hollywood sign. 

As I studied this image, I had so many ideas racing through my mind that I didn't know which one to pursue. Finally, I chose the simple one below and situated Burke's image within a starry night.

Perhaps you’d like to join me in this effort. If so, just click on the link above and you’ll be guided to Suzanne’s blog site and her instructions.

TAKE TWO
"This is breathtaking, George. I’m so glad you brought me up here."

"Yeah, Hollywood at night is pretty impressive."

Sandy stretched out her hand to his. "The street lights remind me of Christmas."

"Hmm, those red ones? They're police cars." 
 
"I know but sitting here, behind the iconic Hollywood sign, police car or not, it's magical."

George turns towards Sandy. "You know we’re not alone, right?"

"Sure! I can see the cars on either side of us."
 
"It’s a favorite spot for lovers—above the City, starry night..."

Sandy nods. "I keep thinking about the back seat."

"Really? You'd like to go to the back seat? Kisses would be easier for sure."

"And maybe other things easier too. But..."

"But what? Sandy?"

"I dunno know. I just have this odd feeling that someone's watching us."
​
"I think you worry too much. C'mon, let's get in the back." 

"G e o r g e! What's that??"

"What the... ! Quick, let's get out of here." 



And that's a cut. We'll move to scene 33 in fifteen. Good job, team.

Everything can be taken from a man but one thing: the last of the human freedoms—to choose one’s attitude in any given set of circumstances, to choose one’s own way. ―Viktor E. Frankl, Man’s Search for Meaning
