invited who? by graemestevens

invited who?

He sat, buttocks nestled gently in the loving and gentle caress of his favourite armchair, secure in the knowledge that his sanity teetered on a knife-edge. He knew without a shadow of doubt that it could be blown off the edge by the lightest of summer breezes, set to flutter aimlessly and without a point of reference through the atmosphere of what was left of his tattered intellect. Luckily it was winter and the howling gales were upon him. He's used to that shit and knows how to hang on...and tea parties make everything okay, particularly if you're drinking whisky. Hurrah for single malt!

What?
I love everything about this image and your storytelling. Fav

I to love everything about this image......fav
July 2nd, 2019  
this is brilliant - love the steam on the teacup
July 2nd, 2019  
I must say - I do appreciate your lovely china - and everybody needs a unicorn friend. I was a little concerned about the narrative - until contents of those lovely cups was revealed - all made perfect sense then!! Oh - and the photo is a doozy!!

@robz That was my grandmothers china...we have several more lying about the place...
@shannejw Thank you very much :)
@rustymonkey Madness I tell you!!!
@koalagardens Don't we all...
@yorkshirekiwi He's a truculent little bastard.
@nicolecampbell Thank you very much, very much appreciated.

Brilliant storyline but watch out for the unicorn. He looks like he is moving in on that whisky!
July 2nd, 2019  
I don’t know what I like the most, the tea cups, the smoke or that poor unicorn...........hang on, I like everything
July 2nd, 2019  
Brilliant!!
July 2nd, 2019  
And you're using a paper straw to get to that single malt? Was unicorn for afters???
July 2nd, 2019  
I want a pet unicorn
July 2nd, 2019  
Brilliant narrative and the way you drink your single malt ........posh from a bone china cup.........the mad hatter has notting on you😉

I would be depressed if I had to drink single malt thru those filters.

@byrdlip It's a difficult task but it's worth it...
@jacqbb He never did...a pale imitation at best ;)
@blueberry1222 I'd only use it to stab people... ;)
@30pics4jackiesdiamond A metal straw actually, far better for whisky ;)
@jetr Thank you very much :)
@kjarn I'm quite happy with this one as well...and it took a suspiciously short amount of time...
@kiwinanna I think he's had enough already...
July 2nd, 2019  
Must ask why is the unicorn crying? Is it because he was expecting to be in a fairy tale?
July 2nd, 2019  
I assume that your pinky was lifted....
July 3rd, 2019  
Where was my invitation? I love a good tea party! Haha. Fav.
July 3rd, 2019  
Glad to see that unicorn is getting some warmed single malt, looks like he needs it.
July 3rd, 2019  
@gardencat He'll need a lot more by the time I'm done with him...
@gardenfolk Limited numbers I'm sorry ;)
@joysabin That would be rude...so yes :))
@fbailey It's actually blood but it's so small that it's hard to tell...tears are just as good ;)
July 3rd, 2019  
I don't know how this character can eat or drink anything! I suppose he could tip it down his eye holes! You should write a book and scare more people!
July 3rd, 2019  
@maggiemae I'm terrified of writing a book...people might buy it...
July 3rd, 2019  
You're getting quite poetic in your prose. I was a bit worried when I saw the tea-cup, grandma's or not, but if the contents were single malt that's all good. After all, it's all in best spirits.
July 3rd, 2019  
A good single malt taste perfect out of any thing but plastic, so at least your not letting the side down old chap, I agree with Maggiemae write a book it would give Steven king and E A Poe a run for their money.
July 3rd, 2019  
Looks can be deceiving..... I'm betting that unicorn has been to quite a few all-night parties and could drink you under the table ;)
July 3rd, 2019  
Five o'clock?
July 4th, 2019  
@haskar Not necessarily... ;)
@4rky You're probably quite right but I also think we're both prepared to find out.
@hobgoblin Yes, but if I write I'm worried that people may well read it.
@golftragic Nothing but the best for nothing but the best ;)
July 4th, 2019  
@graemestevens Praise be.
July 5th, 2019  
Must show this to my nephew… He loves unicorns.
*snicker*
