Midnight in Paris (SHORT STORY)

Moejoe · 04-19-2009, 03:22 PM

Unable to attend the recent meeting in Paris, I settled for second best and wrote myself a story about Paris instead

Meet Jeff, bleary eyed visitor taken from the tourist line by a mysterious woman who introduces him to a Paris he never knew he sought. A Paris of poets and ghosts, of midnight meetings where the invited guests are as surprising as any you may encounter.

Quote:

To the right of the Mona Lisa’s smile, Jeff Godfrey noticed another, just as enigmatic curl of lips.

The woman might have been a Louvre exhibit herself she was so poised. A statue, still as Greek marble. Her eyes brushstroke green as if Degas had picked her as canvas.

Her smile grew wider. She nodded in Jeff’s direction.

Fantastic! I've been waiting for something more

Now, I just have to figure out when your "sometime tonight" is... Let's see.. add 9 hours for Paris and only 8 hours for the UK, right?

So my 6PM Sunday night is your 2 AM Monday? OK, whatever, I'll just start checking after we come in tonight.

I'm hoping for before Midnight tonight... or...ooh maybe on the stroke of Midnight, that would be cool

That would be a grand idea. Now if I can just get my day-to-day chores out of the way, I might be able to make that time

Oh, and here's the almost finalised cover for the 1st short story collection I'll be uploading soon on Feedbooks (there's another to come after that, and the Novel if I can keep my everyday life from interrupting).

well, midnight in paris does give you an extra hour compared to midnight in the uk...

so it should be no trouble, right ?

I was working the opposite way around, so yeah, that's cool. It'll be Midnight in Paris when I release Midnight in Paris...that's the kind of poetic coincidence I love

Just checked the time, and I thought I had more than I've got.
