Somewhere in a motel bedroom in Michigan Morgan and Logan are relaxing in front of the TV….
‘Can’t you sit still, Morgan?’
‘I am.’
‘You’re not. Your foot’s twitching like you’re wired to the mains and everything is vibrating. I can hear my own teeth.’
‘My gran was convinced the devil was in her dentures.’
‘I don’t want to know.’
‘You do.’
…….
‘Go on.’
‘She’d a new plate made and the first evening heard voices.’
‘She was a loony?’
‘The neighbour’s radio. Something to do with a harmonica…’
‘Do you mean harmonics?’
‘Do I?’
‘Yes.’
‘Caused vibrations, apparently.’
‘Fascinating. Will you stop vibrating?’
‘They’re good vibrations…’
‘Morgan, please don’t start singing….’
‘I’m picking up good vibrations…’
This was written in response to this week’s prompt at the #carrotranch..
June 18, 2020, prompt: In 99 words (no more, no less), write a story that includes good vibrations. What is unfolding? Is someone giving off or receiving the feeling? Where is the story situated? Gather some good vibes and go where the prompt leads!
These two are the best. Mind you I never put them down as Beach Boy Fans 😂

I have a son who when concentrating, vibrates his leg by pressing his toes into the floor and lifting his heel. I remember getting sharp with him as I sat next to him trying to thread a needle, ‘Have you got St Vitus dance? stop wiggling you are driving me bonkers.’ His reply was sobering. ‘Where do you think I got that little tic from?’ That was when I noticed that I do it too. Good response Geoff.
