Rod leaned on the counter pleading. “It’s Mom’s 86th birthday. I have to be there tonight.”

The clerk listened, nodded, repeated: next flight is 2:30 a.m. You will have to wait until then.

After looking several times at the picture provided to us by those photogenic Trifecta editors, I noticed way in the dark background a young man leaning on the counter. Hmmm, what is HIS story? Thus these 33 words. I imagine there is much more to tell.

    Great observation! I didn’t notice until you pointed it out!

  2. You are one observant writer. I never saw the guy in the back. I love it!

    Dude! I still can’t see him. Or I can sort of see another head, but I can’t tell what he’s doing. I LOVE taking off from him instead of the primary image, though.

    Great eye! I didn’t see him until you pointed it out. Love the idea of telling his story, though!

    Ugh. You did a great job summing up how frustrating airline personnel can be. They just keep repeating themselves when you ask for additional help or explanation. Too funny. I didn’t notice the guy in the back either. Thanks for linking up!
