Here are two entries, continuing the weird story that is building itself in a variety of flash formats.
CHERYL'S BABY
[continued from here]
Cheryl gazes at her new-born daughter’s beautiful face, not quite identical to hers – a variation on a theme.
Her wisps of blond hair are curly.
Her little dimpled knees, her fingers and toes are perfect.
Everything about her is perfect. Everything.
She yawns and stretches the way babies do, and flutters her tiny diaphanous wings.

LOVE AND MARRIAGE
[continued from here]
As Cheryl and Gil are preparing dinner, she says, " We haven’t cooked together for a while."
Gil catches her meaning.
Later that night, as they lay with their limbs entangled, Cheryl whispers, "I really do love you."
"Really?,” Gil wonders. How much was she doubting herself?
"And I really do love you," he replies.

I think you captured some human moments here. These both made me pause and reflect. Thanks. (If this is your first 55 with G-Man, I'm looking forward to more.)

You caught me by surprise with the baby's tiny diaphanous wings. A variation on a theme? I guess! That's what a 55 should do...make us think and wonder. Thanks and welcome about the 55 train!
