Ficlets

Dreams of Shopping Nude

Apple was notorious for her terrible skills in telling time.

People were frequently annoyed by her constant asking of the time. She could tell by the positioning of the light in the room that it was somewhere from nine to ten in the morning. She realized that she should start her daily adventures before the morning was over.

Still in her underclothing, Apple made her way to the kitchen and put a bright blue tea kettle on the stove and made her way through the jungle of vinyl to the closet. If it were up to her, Apple would just wear her underclothing and browse the market barefoot, but she felt she couldn’t risk another police warning for indecency.

Unable to make up her mind, she put on a breezy blue silk kimono, just in case she felt like tormenting that police officer once more.
