The use of a camera is similar to that of a knife. You can use it to peel potatoes, or carve a flute. ~ E. Kahlmeyer

    I happen to like this a lot...as it is. I hear BD, and he could be right. However, I see the scene as one rife with tensioned uncertainty. The person doesn't know whether to dive for the phone, the cigarettes, or the wine.

    I always wanted to lie naked on a bearskin rug in front of a fireplace. Cracker Barrel didn't take kindly to it.

    I'd wished the cigarette in the ashtray was more visible or as BD said, in her hand. As they say, close is only good in horseshoes and hand granades. rolleyes1.gif

    Thanks Tom. I liked it but it could be stronger.
