Just 100 words: can you do it?
Something I don't usually do is continue the story.
But this week's word is 'elan' which means energy, style, confidence, panache.
I immediately saw the character of Denny, from my last Drabble Promises
going confidently about his life despite his blood lust, or maybe because of it.
HOT DOG!
Denny put the dog on the bun and handed it to the officer. "Condiments
to your left. Help yourself to the potato salad."
"No. Thank you. This will
do. We still haven't located your wife." Officer Demetri said as he added
onions and mustard to his hot dog. "You did all this work yourself?"
He surveyed the new patio. "Damn lot
of concrete."
"The professionals did that. I just watched with a beer
in hand." Denny laughed. "Janet left me a 'to do list. I expected her
back before I finished. I guess she's having too much fun down under."

Ooooo, very clever, over-confident?
She's down under all right.
lol down under and not coming back
Poor girl.
HA! "Down under," indeed.
You mentioned the word "panache," which reminds me of something that occurred in our family years ago. We were having dinner in a local seafood restaurant, and my hubby had ordered a rather sizable amount of crab legs as his meal. The rest of us ordered whatever, and had finished, but he was still savoring his legs. I made a smart-ass comment about how he was eating with "panache." Our daughter asked what that meant, and before I could answer, our younger son, who was a teenager at the time, said rather drolly, "With turtle-like slowness."
Have a super weekend! (May it pass with turtle-like slowness...)
Great final sentence. Hehe.
Never expect a man to finish the "to do" list if you plan on disappearing, lol.
Too funny, turtle like slowness is the week, not the weekend, sadly!
Now that's sinister and galling all at the same time!
