Overheard


I over hear conversations and what is often said intrigues me. For example, the other day I overheard “I’ am waiting for the lady to call me.”

So my mind grabs this sentence and takes off and here is the first paragraph of my next novel.

"I am waiting for the lady to call me” Vincent said. “It has been days since I left her a message.” Vincent drew back into his chair and puffed on his cigarette much like a monkey would. With an angelic face and extra hair on his chin.
