Trouble In Paradise
Angelica’s had enough of this place.
Everyone is too nice, nothing but sweetness and light. Really, an occasional puzzled frown or heartfelt tear wouldn’t go amiss. And the music – please! All that la-la-la-ing is getting old fast, not to mention the blasted harp night and day. Oh for a bit of birdsong, or better yet, sweet silence!
She’s so not into the food. Milk and honey, blech. How about a tall stack of blueberry pancakes? Most of all, she misses the feel of fresh earth beneath her feet. Whose fool idea was it to pave the streets with gold?

Angelica – a very appropriate name. I’d much rather have birdsong and a bit of grass beneath my feet. Great story.
I agree, Carrie. I’ll take birdsong, grass and blueberry pancakes any day! Poor Angelica.

Thank you, Christer! Angelica was fun to write about!
I’m glad that I’m not a millionaire too Fuji. It rings of everything that is touched turns to gold. Give me a taste of the every day things. I enjoyed reading this Fuji.

I too loved the humour in this Fuji. Poor Angelica, heaven certainly seems more like hell to her.
Hi Linda. Thanks for reading! I’ve always wondered what was so great about streets paved with gold, so I couldn’t resist writing this!

That is very wise, Lotchie!
Hi Fuji, I like Angelica’s personality 🙂 She looks for genuine things, yes? Even gold, if too much, is too much! Thanks for this story.

This is word on the marble, Katy.
