Hey writers,
Earlier this week I boarded a plane to Lisbon. (Oh yeah--hello from Lisbon!)
The very idea of doing so put me in mind of the final scene from Casablanca, Rick and Ilsa standing on the smoky, foggy runway, propellers swirling on the plane to Lisbon, Nazis closing in. It gives me goosebumps every time.
The rules are simple: In fifty (50) words or fewer, write a story or a scene that includes the phrase "the plane to Lisbon."
Write or paste your story/scene into the comments of this week's post. Enter as many times as you wish.
I'll choose the winner based on effort and the quality of the writing. I'll also consider the number of thumbs-up, so if you like someone else's story, click on the thumb to show your support and good sportsmanship.
Get your entry in before Friday the 28th turns into Saturday the 29th.
And mostly, have fun with it!
