One is a god/goddess.
The two toasting are on opposite sides of a conflict.

Taking a stand

ReplyDeleteCool! Glad you had fun with it :-)
ReplyDeleteI liked the tension and conflict you built up in just the few paragraphs.
As embarrassing a piece that it is, it sure was fun to write! I smiled and laughed when I completed it.
ReplyDeleteFor that simple gift, I thank you, Joyce. And thank you for continuing to do this. I appreciate your effort. I really do.
