So, this is no shit, there I was...well, TDW (The Darling Wife) and I were, in actual fact, walking along deck 9 of a cruise ship, several years ago, soaking up the sun and enjoying NOT being in The Wintry North. I swear to Crom, there was this young woman, double take pretty, topless, sunning herself on a deck chair. Good News: she was ANYTHING but a maritime mammal. Bad news: she was prone. Good news? She was propped up on her forearms, doping some sort of something with her cell phone. Bad News? her breasts were, partially, hidden in her bunched up towel, and by her forearms.
In any event, it was a view that lives with me, to this very day.
AND! I have attempted to both preserve that image in prose, as well as imagine where it might have developed, in some alternate universe where my wife would not shoot me dead should I stray. (or, more likely, divorce my ass RFQ: Right Fucking Quick!)
Hope y'all enjoy. Should be released by the moderator sometime tomorrow. That would be Sun 17 October 21.
