The rain gear photoshoot was scheduled on a cloudless day, the only water a nearby stream.
“Pretend it’s raining,” the photographer instructed. I clenched the rain jacket closed, squeezed my eyes shut, and gazed at the clouds.
“No one stares at rain,” he shouted, “run from it!”
“Like this?” I flipped the hood over my head, bowed my head, and charged forward. His camera shutter ticked rapid-fire, like rain on a window.
I stumbled over a rock, plummeted head first into the stream, and rose from the water with my tresses dripping and pant legs clinging to my legs.
“Perfect.”
I loved this. It made me smile on an otherwise drab day.
Good one
Nice one. (Shame there weren’t enough words to shake yourself like a dog over him and his camera lense.)
Love it!
Nicely done!
Ha, Ha!! Nice setting, characters and story arc – well done!
Nice touch of self-deprecatory humour!
Thank you everyone for your kind comments! 🙂
Definitely a ‘Bridget Jones’ moment! Nice and lighthearted.
