Old Man George

    






55 words. It's fun exciting and definitely a challenge making sure to use no more than fifty five words and no less of course and you must read the ones of your fellow writers.  Gmans Place  Let the G-Man know if you write one Why Gman's? Place because he's the Man who came up with this great Idea.



Old George spent the long summer nights on the bank of Plat –I Reservoir just outside the town of Sutherlin. George was fun to chat with.  He'd reach in his shirt, pull out a bottle of Old Red Eye and take a swig then he'd start another story. I had fun listening to him reminisce.

G-Man said...

Yeah....?
Where's he at now?
Just curious.
Excellent 55 Larry.
Lots of memories today.
Thanks for playing and your support, and have a Kick Ass Week-End.

Bubba said...

Yes, but did he share his Old Red Eye while you listened?

(On second thought, maybe that wouldn't be such a great idea, since he kept the bottle ticked in his shirt)

I know that area. Great 55, Larry. My 55 is HERE .

Austin said...

I would like to sit beside George & fish! One of my very favorite things to do is listen to stories while on a river or lake!

Thanks
