The Lantern Saga

The lantern saga. My friend and I were gorgeous; it was a visit to my would-be in-law’s house. My mocked decency and decorum were high,my gaiety and impressario at peak. My love got us seat in a room prepared for our visit,a kerosine lantern lit our stay. ‘‘ Shall I bring the food ?’’, she quested ; ‘‘ I don’t know of my friend,as for me I will not eat.’’, I replied shyly but sharply. ‘‘ Eat even if only small,I needn’t ask your friend.’’ She replied. So the table was set and the eating commenced. As we were eating air extinguished the lantern; I noticed my fiancee take the lantern to relight,then I quickly moved closer to my friend and whispered; ‘‘when the light went off I was seriously rushing the food like pig’’. ‘‘You don’t have to, I prepared all for your visit, I can still add more if you so wished’’,replied my fiancee. What a hell ! I felt like the ground should quake and swallow me up. He returned with the burning lantern. Contest : Angel of The odd. Sponsor : Craig Cornish. Date : 15/2/14.
