Write a 26 word sentence and each sentence has to start with the letter of the alphabet. Start backwards with Z
Zanzibar hopped into the car and headed up the coast. Yesterday he’d been fired, for nothing
really, he told himself. X’rays revealed
a tumor so he used it as an excuse for his behavior. Winding down the lonely road, he smiled and
thought of Clover, the dunderheaded dog behind the factory. Very stupid, but oh so brave. Undoubtedly he should have taken the dog, but
they kicked him out so fast, only giving him time to clear his locker. Trash talk, that was all, nothing
serious. So why had Blakely looked so
appalled.
Really, who takes jokes literately? Quite the moron and he
hadn’t been the only one. Proud of his
little ditties and songs, Zan had made a poster and hung it in the break
room. Oops! No way he could have known Blakely or
Singleton had minorities in their families.
Maybe he should have kept his mouth shut, but he’d never been too good
with that. Lazy, his dad said, too lazy
to think, to stop and think about other folks.
Kendall had torn down the poster, ripped it into tiny pieces and shoved
it in his face. Jackass!
If they had only asked, he would have explained about the
tumor and he wasn’t responsible. Huffing
out a breath, he tapped his fingers on the steering wheel, thoughts all
jumbled. Granted, they were all a bunch
of idiots and he’d hated the job, so why should he care. Free now to roam, to drive and explore and be
himself. Even though his dad was mad now
too. Driving around the next bend, the
ocean came into view, vast, blue and gorgeous. Craving fish now, he checked gps
for the nearest sea food restaurant.
Battered fried shrimp and maybe some lobsters rolls would be good. All thoughts ceased when he drove off the
cliff, distracted by a bodacious babe in a bikini.
