Hold on to your hat

A penny for your thoughts

| OUT OF HIS MIND |
CASTAWAY by Granny Annie
The Minnow set sail from the dock. It was a beautiful, calm day. Perfect for an outing on the lake. Suddenly a strong wind began to swell from the north. Mary Ann was terrified. Our skipper cried out, “Hold on to your hats!”. The boat began to twist and buck, caught in a whirlpool. The professor assured us all would be well. .
Rocks and sand pierced my skin. I opened my eyes. It appeared we were all yet alive though Mrs. Howell was crying and Thurston coughed. It seemed we were marooned on some unknown island. As my senses began to return I saw the Gilligan next to me. “A penny for your thoughts Ginger” he said.

ReplyDeleteThanks. I was surprised how this evolved.

ReplyDeleteLynn you are always so nice. When will you try one?
DeleteBig, big smiles. This is such a clever take on the prompts.
ReplyDeleteHahahahaha! Good one, Annie! :)
ReplyDeletethis made me laugh and remember my days of watching Gilligan's Island. Those silly stuffed-shirt Howells, Mary-Ann with her cream pies and no kitchen in sight. And bumbling Gilligan of course.
ReplyDeleteKind of miss those innocent Gilligan Island days. Great way to use them all.
ReplyDeleteWell, this was INDEED a joy to read! I really need to slow down and pace myself and do one of these again. You do make it seem easier than it is.
ReplyDeleteYep, you wrote an episode to one of my fave childhood shows! Takes me right back to the island again! Thanks
ReplyDeleteI enjoyed this very much, thank you.
ReplyDeleteAll the best Jan
