My Favorite Holiday

Happy Fourth of July to those who observe it, and to those who don’t, happy fourth day of July. : ) The Fourth of July is my favorite holiday, mainly because it’s in the summer and involves fireworks.

On that note, last July Ms. Alison Tyler posted my flash story “Fireworks Display” at her blog H is for Harlot (thanks again Alison!). I’ve created a podcast of “Fireworks Display” that I wanted to feature today in honor of the Fourth of July. (It plays automatically upon clicking the link; length is about six and a half minutes.)

Happy day today, whether you observe it as a holiday or not! ; )

Love,
Emerald

I glanced over my shoulder again. Six pairs of eyes immediately found mine. Even if we had wanted to talk to each other, the noise of the fireworks display would have smothered any opportunity. The young men were relegated by necessity to pure voyeurs, I the exhibitionist, a lone figure competing against a backdrop of spectacular light and fire.
