Francine looked forward to the upcoming holiday. It wasn’t often that she could wear her snickerdoodle costume with its bells and jingly-jangly danglies. She felt light and airy as she flew over the sparkling violet seas. Stopping on a small cheesecake island for a breather and beer, she marveled at the monkey’s zen. It would be a good day, she thought. Finally she would be embraced again in the five arms of her beloved Cameron. It had been a long time since his transformation, and would be longer still until the spell wore off. And that is what holidays are for, don’t you think?
[The above was originally written as a response to a writing prompt on Microfiction Madness. The full prompt is below]
Write a 100 word or less story or poem about a holiday, any holiday.
Include the words cheesecake and snickerdoodle.

Love it! (Well worth the painfully slow WiFi, though the Like” button is apparently being censored.)
Extra arms are greatly underrated, and I’m pretty sure I recognize the subject matter in that photo from the other night. And though I had to leave the jingly-jangly danglies in Japan, and the layover is actually at Suvarnabhuni, I hereby tip a second Singha to Snickerdoodlers everywhere! 😀

The second Singha is always the best. Or was it the third?
Glad you enjoyed it. I was feeling a little weird.
