Blame Cathy
From A Prompt By Cathy From A Prompt By Heather - Why don't you write a story about a food-eating contest on the waterfront?
Elvis: "You think you can eat more than me?"
Marlon: "What have you got"
Elvis: "The burger van has burgers, cheeseburgers, and more burgers"
Marlon: "Gimme five"
Elvis (To Burger Flipper): "Ten cheeseburgers"
Burger Flipper: "Ten cheeseburgers? Who's payin'"
Elvis throws him a hundred dollars.
Elvis: "Keep the change"
The burger flipper started up his stove.
The Burger War began, Elvis Presley vs Marlon Brando!!

Sheets of bank paper float on drafts of air. Wind rushes from vacant spaces where glass panes used to be. Last images of a life lost.

All of his tomorrows are gone, and so are mine.

Beneath the Moon's Veil
The small coastal town of Havenbrook thrived on the ebb and flow of the tides, its inhabitants intimately connected to the rhythm of the ocean. But it was the arrival of the full moon that stirred the hearts of the townsfolk with anticipation and wonder. On each full moon night, a mysterious woman would grace their shores, her enchanting presence captivating all who beheld her.

Does Elvis get peanut butter on his?
Yeah, that does sound like Elvis, and what he would eat too. Surprised You went with burgers and not PB&J and bacon.

LOL!! It's so funny because when I gave Cathy those prompts, I meant them separately so she'd have a few ideas. Of course her genius (and now yours) put them together!! This was great!!!
