Packing My Bags

It’s almost time for the summer solstice, which means it’s almost time for people to throw caution to the wind and swim with no regard for others.

Basically, the heat makes people rude.

They post up on the banks of beaches, rivers and lakes, polluting the area with their trash and sunscreen. At night, hey build fires with flames that leap high in the sky. They sit around the fire and tell stories of ghosts lost in the swamps, ghouls rising from the depths of the ground.

We’ve had people who won the lottery come out with their massive boats, polluting the waters with their fumes. 

It’s sickening.

It doesn’t just happen in Florida. No it happens all over the place…Georgia, Mississippi, Louisiana, Alabama…anywhere people can get to the water.

So I’m going to do what any smart people would do and reverse snowbird.

While the people flock to the south, I’m heading north.

So when you read reports about an alligator swimming in one of the Great Lakes…mind ya business!

Today’s post is a writing challenge. This is how it works: participating bloggers picked 4 – 6 words or short phrases for someone else to craft into a post. All words must be used at least once and all the posts will be unique as each writer has received their own set of words. That’s the challenge, here’s a fun twist; no one who’s participating knows who got their words and in what direction the writer will take them. Until now.

My words were “ lottery ~ Florida ~ alligator ~ solstice ~ flame ~ ghost” and they were submitted by Climaxed. Thanks for the fun prompts!
