Oh! Interesting this can be taken literally as toasted bread or toast as in dead, defunct or useless and dated ! Woo thinking cap on . Hope your well and rested Sacha. 💜
Hehe thanks Willow that’s why I did it, because it was ambiguous. Were sunning ourselves and the rest is AWESOME
So glad to hear that 🍹🏖️🌞☀️
I’d never been to a wedding at 8am, so spreading butter on toast in a fancy dress was quite interesting. The best man stood to give his toast. Would we laugh or cringe? The only two choices..
“Today we are here to honor the groom and his whore bride…”
He was toast….
BAHAHAHAHAH omg, have you actually been to a wedding in the morning before? That would be so cool. But that was a killer ending, loved it.
Thanks for the prompt, Sacha. Here goes:
I rifled through the litter of documents, scattered them across the ruined desk, and thrust cast-offs to the floor. Panic flushed my face and my glasses steamed. Max paced, minding his tongue, for once. We’d searched for the proof everywhere. I straightened and he paused, his words a breathless whisper, “We’re toast.”
haha a brilliant entry, loved the last line, and I kinda want to know more too! WHAT DID THEY DO???
I have no idea! They didn’t tell me! 😀
