Prompt: 106. Hawaiian shirt
1. Dad was wearing his lucky Hawaiian shirt and whistled a jaunty tune as he came inside. It was a warning that he had news to share.
A. Dad was wearing his lucky Hawaiian shirt and whistled a jaunty tune as he came inside. It was a warning that he had news to share.
The children shared a look across the table and all did their best to be quiet and unobtrusive. Dad would be focused on Mummy, and as long as they didn’t draw his attention he would take Mummy away for the evening and they would both be happy in the morning. But if anyone spoiled his cheery mood…
2. The evidence bag held the tattered remains of a Hawaiian shirt.
A. The evidence bag held the tattered remains of a Hawaiian shirt. They didn’t know if it was part of their crime or not, but it had been there at the scene. They had a ragtag pile of evidence to sort through and a tale of woe to assemble.
“Geez. Here’s to hoping they catch this guy sometime this year,” Jacobs said. He waggled his eyebrows at her across the sorting table, putting a remarkable amount of emotion into them. Enough that she could read him behind his full face mask.
She laughed, a huff-huff against her own mask. She’d never seen him outside of full-body protective gear, surrounded by the detritus of death, but she loved him.
3. On realizing that he’d gained a worrying amount of weight, he began wearing Hawaiian shirts and grew a beard to hide the extra chins.
A. On realizing that he’d gained a worrying amount of weight, he began wearing Hawaiian shirts and grew a beard to hide the extra chins. He didn’t even think about exercising.
Not until he decided to take a flight of stairs rather than using the slow escalator and found himself gasping for breath before he was even halfway up.
That was when he had his life-altering epiphany. That was when he began working out with the fervor of a religious convert.
