This week’s #carrotranch prompt is
June 24, 2021, prompt: In 99 words (no more, no less), write a story about a cat named Rainbow on an outdoor adventure. Rainbow is any cat of any identification. What would draw a cat outside? Go where the prompt leads!
‘Logan, did you ever do drugs?’
‘What’s this, Morgan? You joined the moral majority?’
‘No. My uncle Thaddeus popped in…’
‘Taddy the Tab.’
‘That’s him. He said everyone born after 1955 did something. I told him you didn’t.’
‘Me?’
‘You’re the most anal uptight person I know…’
‘Squeeze had me in mind when they wrote Cool for Cats.’
‘Seriously?’
‘Oh yes. I saw everything in multi-technicolour rainbows, life’s an Elysian Field….’
‘I never knew…’
‘If that’s all, I need to get to the library and change my books…’
‘Not much has changed then?’
‘Still too cool for school…’

About TanGental
My name is Geoff Le Pard. Once I was a lawyer; now I am a writer. I've published several books: a four book series following Harry Spittle as he grows from hapless student to hapless partner in a London law firm; four others in different genres; a book of poetry; four anthologies of short fiction; and a memoir of my mother. I have several more in the pipeline.
I have been blogging regularly since 2014, on topic as diverse as: poetry based on famous poems; memories from my life; my garden; my dog; a whole variety of short fiction; my attempts at baking and food; travel and the consequent disasters; theatre, film and book reviews; and the occasional thought piece. Mostly it is whatever takes my fancy.
I avoid politics, mostly, and religion, always. I don't mean to upset anyone but if I do, well, sorry and I suggest you go elsewhere.
These are my thoughts and no one else is to blame. If you want to nab anything I post, please acknowledge where it came from.

That can sometimes be a worry for us writers, hey? But with characters like these, it could be worse! At least you’re digging up some great stories.
