Swallow
Swallows? He counted two. Summer is on its way.
How do you know?
It's no surprise you ended up here without promotion, he snarled.
He swallows the insult and rising anger.
The big man shoved the cowboy hat aside as he wiped the sweat off his forehead.
No airconditioning? Like an old steam locomotive, he puffed outside.
What's the mayor up to? Tourists would pass through the small town soon. Not one summer since the huge man was in charge passed without a booming increase in robberies and what to think about the disappearance of all those young couples?
This summer should be special. The love of his life waited for him and all he wanted was being with her. No time for corruption. Let the mayor do as he likes. He's in charge.
He shook his head. Forget it, you don't have to love me I'm a decent deputy.
Write a 150 word exactly story in the suspense genre. It's about an unsuccessful policeman and should include a cowboy hat. Also use the sentence 'You don't have to love me.' Bonus prompt: Your character has just met the love of his/her life.

Two swallows don't make a summer ;-)) But a lot of chirping...
with us they say one swallow... here they never show up alone and fly straight into your face. Not today it's raining again. Still, the birds are noisy and the cuckoo is the loudest of all till the owls take over

Dear friend, some issues to reply as I'm forced to use a mobile today. Nor Firefox no Chrome are working properly with Steemit today. I can't open Steemit pages on the netbook, only mobile😰
Did you try to install another browser? We never use Chrome it's firefox.
I wonder if you can have access if you use the site boylikegirl.club
The steemapp you use now seems to work on a different system. They told me as we had the other issues and that they should have enrolled that into Steemit to keep it functioning. Keep your answers short dear, or skip them, do not stress. Think about your health and relax.
Does Opera browser still exist? I believe my son uses firefox. I have three browsers on my phone: samsung - firefox and adaware. I hope the problem is solved soon.
❤️🍀
I don't know if Opera still exists, but I suspect the issue is due to the last Winzozz (the Italian name us Linuxians give to Windows🤣🤣🤣🤣) update, as now I'm in the Windows11 VAIO (to let my Linux Debian netbook rest🤣). Today it returned fairly normal in Chrome.
Yes, today I had a rest day also, as my Linuxian VAIO: I slept half afternoon, as I got really tired❤️❤️❤️❤️
Good to hear it works again. Windows11 is not the best according to my son, he runs 10.
How's Linux?
Good you took some rest. So did I after picking up my son I arrived back home at 4 am, next we had tea and slept for a few hours.
I would love a sleep session of a hundred of years and feel rested if waking up.
A good day to you.
🍀❤️
Your son is right. Apart of the app ClipChamp, only dedicated to 11, Windows10 is better. Linux is a safer environment (no antivirus needed, but we must be wise in any way to not fall into a physhing for ex. opening a doubtful mail nor clicking a doubtful link) and counts on free open sources to perform productivity tasks, but unfortunately banks and universities in my country don't accept open source tools. They adore Microsoft Office and no linuxian bank tool for the newest Linuxes😢
Hoping you can sleep well as much as you need
Here we use open source. I started with Open Office and for sure not worse than microsoft office. My children use Libre Office no problem at school or anywhere else.
What is ClipChamp?
Banks and governments are the most old fashioned if it comes to whatever it is they use. With us there are frequent hacks although they tell us to update their app every few days (I refuse that).
I do not sleep much but I'll catch up, my back hurts. How about you? Do you manage?
A good Sunday to you and your husband.
❤️🍀
Good Sunday, dear friend❤️
ClipChamp is a productive tool to build videos and video-slides with musics. For free default for Windows11 (Windows10 can count on its HTML version). I'm using ClipChamp to make my video-slides with the sound of my violin, after the Pixabay images setting with SlideShow Creator (another free tool dedicated to Windows).
I know Open Office too: I made a large use years ago (now there is Libre Office, as I find default in my linuxian devices).
I believe there's another open office source I forgot the name. I no longer need it on my phone. It's already slow enough.
I once made slideshows and videos out of the travels with my children. Back then I drove in a oldsmobile, A Ford 1972. I am not sure what I used.
You are a more than busy bee!
How is playing the violin doing? Do you make time for it?
I hope you had a good rest. A happy, not too long day to you.
🍀❤️
Terimakasih sobat atas undangan, Saya pasti akan konsisten lagi di lain waktu ku💫😊
I hope you will
😃💫🌈
