Perils in Paradise - Flash 55 Friday, 6-4-10
The steel band played as the sun set into the Caribbean. He offered to buy the dark beauty another drink. While he was gone, she slipped a “roofie” into his martini. Later, as he lay on the beach, unresponsive, she took all the cash from his wallet.
“One more night and the rent is paid!”

ReplyDeleteOnly recently I came across a biography, which could have been written by this woman; in her "other life" she did study Mathematics and in the end became a mother as well.
ReplyDeleteA piece very close to reality, indeed. Please have a wonderful start into the weekend.
Hmmm...interesting solution. Great 55 :)

Guess he should be glad all he lost was his wallet.
ReplyDeleteI don't know why, but I found this little story ironically funny. Actually, it seems that a few years ago there were some incidents in the news around here where guys would do this to their dates. Maybe I'm thinking of it as a bit of revenge.
ReplyDeleteJohn's comments - yes, sounds like quick work to get the rent paid! Of course, at $2325/month, I'd be out every night of the week!

G-Man - some things, it's best not to remember! Perhaps it's best not to carry your money in your wallet.

Eric Alder - she's just a gal trying to pay her rent, not one of those big time organ dealers!

Alice Audrey - it's funny, I was a sexual assault nurse examiner for 21 years, and I only saw a couple of instances of drug facilitated sexual assault done on males - and then it was by MALES!
ReplyDeletebetchai - am having fun with the camera...especially on the outings with Jo. It's more fun than being alone!

ρομπερτ - Robert, in my life as a forensic nurse, I often saw many case where drugs were used in assaults. Very sad stories, really. Not like this fictitious tale.

clean and crazy - yes, it does seem like turn about is fair play...though, as a forensic RN for 21 years, none of it was funny at all...we didn't see many men, though, who were victims of this sort of thing...just far too many women!!!

sheri - thanks for stopping by - your soapy 55 was a hoot!
ReplyDeleteJoanna Jenkins - you're the best! I sure hope you like my book!
ReplyDeletesecret agent woman - indeed, in some places, he would be missing some of his body parts, not merely a few bills from his wallet!!!
ReplyDeleteRatty - in my work as a forensic nurse, I saw many rape victims ( most often women, rarely men ) who were assaulted in this manner. Drugs were put in their drinks and they had absolutely no recall of what happened. Pretty scary stuff.
