Karaoke | Inside the Mind of Isadora

Belinda was the singer in the group. Tonight, her timing was off.

Could it be too much tequila?

‘Mi Pueblo’ had the most delicious margarita’s. She had to have two.

Each failed attempt at singing left her in giggles.

She’d needed this night out with friends.

The car accident had left her wheelchair bound.

She’d been depressed about it again.

Thoughts poured into her head quicker than she could get them out sometimes.

Spontaneously, the raucous group decided on a beach open-air sing-a-long.

They raced to the edge of the ocean.

“Bring on the waves,” Belinda shouted.

The glass rim is coated with salt.

“Katy Sue is next and will be singing ‘Crazy’ by Pasty Cline,” the DJ announced.

Butterflies fluttered in her stomach. They always did.

When was she going to be rid of these nervous feelings?

But, she got up from her bar stool and started making her way up to the stage.

She had to walk past that bar fly. He was a permanent fixture there and a creepy boar.

He grabbed her arm and gave her his yellow toothed smile. She cringed.

“Take it away Katy Sue,” the Dj said.

She put on the smile.

Katy Sue loved the stage.

The prompt this week for the 100 word challenge from Julia’s Place …the smile…
