Hooray! It’s Wednesday again, and you all get a BONUS! In addition to today’s installment of WIPpet, you can also read the first 3 parts of my new short story series, Taboo (also linked at the right under Story Series). Warning: The series features lots of implied sex, and not all of it is your typical married missionary position type (which is kind of the point of the series anyway).
Anyhow, today is the 22nd, so you get 4 lines (2+2) of the next chapter. Enjoy!

And there you have it! I can’t decide if I feel sorry for Phin getting sucked into so many odd things or whether I think he kind of deserves it. You be the judge. Happy writing, everyone!
Amore con Formaggio 
Hmm depends, is he going to get his groove on? And good on those oldies getting into it. It’s only the body that ages (I still feel 21 most days…).
Oh, he is definitely going to get his groove on–and regret it later. LOL! Gia and Alex are really messing with him.
Haha – great excerpt! And wonderful accompanying picture!
🙂
Great image of those oldies hopping and dancing about and good bemusement from Phin. Brave of him to knock on that door in the end.
🙂 I should post the follow-up to this next week, just for fun. I kind of felt sorry for Phin after I wrote this, but he belongs to me, after all, and I’m allowed to dig at him a little.
I would love to know what kind of…dance…they’re doing. I can imagine Phin’s expression because I’d probably be wearing the same one!
I sort of think Gia made it up. She does know “real” dance, but she’s a very chipper, energetic person who thinks you’re never too old to be in great shape.
I agree with that! It’s something I aspire to…being in great shape, that is.
Me too!
Heh, this excerpt had me grinning from ear to ear. Thanks!
Aw, thanks! 🙂
Seniors doing Jazzercise maybe? Sounds like they’re having fun with it.
Sorry actually that Phin will end up regretting it. People who regret their actions tend to close themselves up even more to things that might bring them joy…
Oh, I only meant that he regrets it in the sense that he thinks it’s all just sort of silly, and then he does it–and finds out those senior citizens might just be in better shape than he is! 😀 He starts off the story as kind of a snob, so this is healthy for him.
AH! I bet those seniors are better at it than him. When I think about how in shape my 91 year old grandmother is… Oh, yeah… Phin’s in for an awakening.
LOL! It sounds like the old folks are doing Zumba! 🙂
I like the description of the dancing. Sounds like what my dancing would look like – I can’t dance to save my life!!
That DOES sound like it would be pretty amusing to watch!
