I found this beginning in one of my story files on my old computer. I like it, but I’ve completely forgotten where I was going with is. So I have two questions for you all:
A.) Should I finish it and . . .
B.) Do you have any suggestions for what I should do with it.
So here it is:
Iola loved ice cream. Maeve had always told her that ice cream wasn’t an appropriate food for someone as powerful as herself, but Iola didn’t care. She ate it anyway.
Every Wednesday at 6:30 AM sharp, Iola slathered on sunscreen and donned a black turtleneck, black jeans, and a wide-brimmed straw hat. She finished the look with sunglasses that were as tinted as they could be while still allowing her to see. On her way out she snagged a black parasol from an intricately carved hat stand. When she reached the door, she yanked it open and stepped into the black limo with tinted windows that waited outside the door like a hearse. Then she was chauffeured down the street and around the corner to the convenience store where she got her weekly soft-serve.
Iola calmly stepped out of the limo and back into the house, soft-serve in hand. Before she had reached the end of the hallway, she was intercepted by Maeve.
“Ice cream? Again?” Maeve fumed.
“I’m not going to stop having it just because you don’t approve.”
Maeve rolled her eyes dramatically. “The least you could do is eat regular ice cream instead of that artificial muck. But no! You have to go all out and get the soft serve!”
Iola sighed. “We have this argument every week, Maeve, and you always turn out losing it. Just give it a rest, will you?”
