The Silver Linings Crew

Writing

1 Apr

Clouds loomed overhead.
A bleak outlook hovered.
The Silver Linings Crew to the rescue!

“Ok, guys, things look gloomy. Let’s get to work. Steady the ladder, Walt. Send up the silver, Pete. Grab the paint brushes, Gwendolyn.”

Paint, paint, paint.
Brush, brush, brush.
Splatter, splatter, splatter.

“That’s better. Nice job, team. Now every cloud has a silver lining. That should make things look more hopeful.”

“Wait. The clouds need more silver.”

“Not again, Walt.”

Boom! Crash! Crack!

“Oh no! Not another thunderstorm. Time for more silver, Pete. Will this rain ever stop?”

“You know what they say, ‘April showers bring May flowers.’”

“Way to find the silver lining, Walt.”

“That’s our job—to bring out the bright side. Don’t you love it? Take a look now.”

“Beautiful, Walt. I feel better already. Way to go, crew.”
