100 Words: Love at The Exxon Hall of Minerals

Admittedly, it was the last place I’d have thought to find love.  Minerals is the least sexy of all pastimes.  And it wasn’t mine anyway, I was dragged there by a friend.  As was he.

Our eyes met across the cluster; eyes laughing at the same thing.  The mineral lovers around us were not laughing, of course, they were admiring this particular arrangement.  All we saw was a field of phalluses, bright, shiny and purple.  How could anyone do anything but laugh?

Our friends angrily dumped us, we had coffee and started something.

We just had to get married there.


Written for Velvet Verbosity from the following picture prompt; and as an answer to the last line of the entry by J Hardy Carroll- though I hope there is no further relationship:

  5. Dear James,

    I guess it's all in the eye of the beholder. In light of what they each saw, the perfect place to get married.

    Shalom,

    Rochelle
