Life Walks. It’s a 6.

It’s Wednesday evening and again I seem to think I can travel back to my youth where pumping one out (as in term paper) the night before was sop.  To say I’ve gotten into the habit of writing a Six Sentence Story every week is a bit premature, but to say that I’ve gotten into a routine of trying to write one the night before is dead on lol.

As was their habit, man walked the female canine, the woman walked the male canine and true to speculation or simple observation, each dog was indeed a “daddy’s girl” and a “momma’s boy”.

Years passed, the ritual sustained and constant, it rarely varied as routine was routine, and the routine nothing but pleasure.

Until a day when 2 became 1, 1 became none and there was left 2 divided by zero…
