Within the loop of this Tees-surrounded town, live folk we've met before.
Tony, to-be-published poet, and Chloƫ, cool and grey as granite mist, efficient, self-sufficient and part-blind to Tony's talent, being gallery-immersed and success-seeking.
Dan: Dan loves his flame-haired, hot-wired etcher/artist Annabel; oft-times also inspires, but sometimes swims (or not) away from home, dispensing sweet-smiled sex and memories, most recently of all with Liz.
Liz, too often lonely through the absence of her prideful Leo: desire-inspiring, satanic-seeming spouse, thus far thought faithful since his Liz is loved for more than just her cooking, not so plain as some would say her face ...
Felix, vigorous vendor of Viagra and part-time picture framer, well-fed and fond and faithless as his spouse, sweet Caroline, whose lack of confidence compels her to consume both cake and alcohol, the resulting curves a muse for Annabel's commission and for Tony's words.
And sliding, smiling and seducing several of these small-time sinners, Edward, night-club owner, hard to read, but known to have a past, a sister and a double-barrelled, definitely-deceptive, name.

The third piece in a belated setting- the-scene for the Shenanigans tales begun somewhat thoughtlessly earlier this year and continuing as and when the mood strikes.
a colorful cast!
This is fun. Love the sounds.
Love the alliterative rhythm. Doesn't matter what the subject is ... I mean, it could have been a grocery list and I would have faved it for the beauty of the language alone. **** (four star fave)
Thank you all - and especially James because I often feel a bit guilty about all this alliteration - just can't resist it at times - so it's good to know it is enjoyed by others.
The alliteration works, S. I love this.
