Friday Fictioneers is hosted by the wonderful Rochelle, the undisputed master of what I call Sound Bite Fiction.
She sets the weekly challenge, and the standard.
Today’s photo by Roger Bultot would normally induce a shiver, but I am just back from Scotland so I am immune to cold!
The idea, as always, is to write a story of around 100 words based on the picture, below.

The Bath
I am not really a bath person.
Probably because I am so impatient, maybe even impetuous.
I prefer to shower.
I only decide to have a long soak when my aches become too much for me.
And today is icy cold, painfully so, depressingly so.
But I am warm here, my old bones are at ease, and my troubles seem much less important.
At this moment I can hardly remember her face, her hair, her beautiful brown eyes.
Well, I am starting to drift a bit now.
And feeling the effect of the wine.
The water is a pretty pink.
