A String of Pearls

[Gevonovich]

with a mixture of provocation and challenge contained in a mischievous grin
We set out
...sliding into the seat of a impeccable motor car. Determined and thrilled.

The story begins of an almost sensual experience of intrigue, danger, and pearls of prose and picture

Quantum of Solace - Pearls

Add a line to develop the story and a picture

This journal, and the thoughts therein, are...

...for your eyes only.

As I shifted through the gears, my hand brushed her knee and the feeling was electric. Her skin was as translucent and as smooth as a pearl.

 

[Gevonovich]

Ah yes the story and string of pearls is developing nicely...

Electric was indeed what I was feeling. The Aston's 12 cylinder was a symphony to my senses. Quickening my mind. The thought of spending time at the cabin in the forest was closer to reality. Portugal was splendid this time of year. My journal was still hidden in it's secret spot in the cabin. The glint of pearls caught my eye...as did the turquoise of hers.

As I leaned in I caught the faint scent of her perfume on the air and whiskey on her breath...View attachment 1326837

Suddenly, lights and siren announced the presence of a police car behind us. I smoothly eased the Aston to a stop on the shoulder of the road, and awaited the officer's approach.

He arrived beside my door and asked, "Sir, are you aware of the stay-at-home order currently in effect? And do you realize the distance between your passenger and you seems considerably less than 6 feet? May I see your driver's license, please?"

I reached into my pocket and pulled out my wallet and a gigantic pearl canoe. As I pretended to search the wallet for my license, I twirled the canoe in my fingers, mesmerizing the LEO with its shimmering glint. I said, "I'm sure you don't want to hinder our fantasy, Officer. Please return to your car and forget this entire incident, and we'll be on our way."

Hypnotically, he did, and we drove on!

Fate and the police were not so charitable on a second encounter while passing through a one horse town.
Locked up with nothing but the shirt on his back, and his father's pearl congress in his pocket, would he trade the knife for his freedom???

Fortunately, the trustee was taken by the shirt, as the young man shivered his way home clutching that precious knife!!

 

[Misplaced Hillbilly]

As it turns out while the young deputy was gung-ho,the cheif was more level headed. And when the deputy was showing the contents of the mans pocket the little pearl congress caught his eye. When pressed the deputy replied "He asked me to be careful with the knife as it was a gift from his father, looks cheap to me" Now irritated by the young deputy's "cheap" remark he curtly dismissed him,for he knew better. As he reached into his own pocket and withdrew three knives clad in pearl. The large jack he had received when when he graduated from the academy, the Copperhead was a gift from his lovely wife on their 30th anniversary, but it was the tiny whittler that gave him pause. For it was a gift from HIS father and looking at it he became resolute in his thoughts, he had to act.......

 

[Gevonovich]

The thought of that prospect sent waves of emotion flowing through me. I let them wash over me and took control immediately with box breathing. A technique that I had ingrained. As mindfullness filled my being a picture arose... ...and a thought...where was Moneypenny ?

Fortunately, the trustee was taken by the shirt, as the young man shivered his way home clutching that precious knife!!

What are the odds that the trustee would have the same initials as the monogram on the young man's bowling shirt?

 

[lambertiana]

I only have two pearl handled knives, and pictures of only one, this Ellenville pen.

 

[r8shell]

While the dashing young man dealt with the authorities, what of his femme fatale? She had pearls of her own, and knew how to drive...

 

[Gevonovich]

And she was resourceful. The pearls were a sophisticated explosive polymer developed by Q. When exposed to dual 640 & 720 nanometer light ( the wavelengths zooxanthellae photosynthesize ) after being activated by her ring...shape charge precision polymerase chain reaction. She knew exactly where James was due to the GPS in his watch and he was in a cell with an exterior wall. She sent a morse code message to James's watch and told him to cover himself with the mattress...
