It's the start of summer Fridays! Time for a flash fiction writing contest!
The usual rules apply:
1. Write a story using 100 words or fewer.
2. Use these words in the story: wife balloon heart dare plott (note the number of t's in this word)
(*If you know what links all the words, you can include that in your post and the words do NOT count as part of the story.)
3. You must use the whole word, but that whole word can be part of a larger word.
4. Post the entry in the comment column of THIS blog post.
Contest opens: Saturday May 30 10 am; closes: Sunday May 31 10 am

Plotted seduction. Shiny heart-shaped balloons
And roses and silky lingerie,
Not to mention a bottle of her favorite
Taittinger Brut La Française Champagne. And
She loved it all, Your Honor, oh yes! All except me.
*I know a plott is a breed of hound, but I don't know what links the prompt words.

[REASON: The very last line of JR's May 13th blog post: **please notice I managed to go the entire blog post without mentioning underpants, which is one of my all time favorite words (Yes I am eight years old). ]
