Another Friday Night

Joy rued another Friday night of re-runs. What a sorry plight! "No more!" she cried. "I'll head for town, where I'll lose this pathetic frown." Why would a loner feeling blue take in a movie meant for two? Before the show, she looked around. The kissing lovers did abound. The movie scenes were scorching hot. She truly did enjoy them--not. Then halfway through, a handsome guy sat down beside her. My, oh, my! Her rusty heart went pitty-pat. For years she hadn't felt like that. "I'm Shea," he said. "You like the show?" "I'm Joy," she said. "Well, really--no." It's been a year since she met Shea. She never sees a lonely day. The kissing scenes they love the best take place in their own lovers' nest. April 19, 2018, entered in Brian Strand's Late April Premiere Contest
