Hot Town Summer in the City~ A Little Drabble Do Ya!

[mrua7.livejournal.com]

On a hot sultry night  Illya plodded along the streets, dressed in jeans... a black T-shirt, allowing him inconspicuousness amongst the comings and goings of Brooklyn.

Smells filled the air... food, hot asphalt, beer, urine, yet an enchanting odor assaulted his senses...perfume.

Familiar.

Posters covered  partitions surrounding a constructions site.  There... an ad for a fragrance. Giselle,
the model with whom he had a brief infatuation.




Ah...Shalimar. He closed his eyes, remembering, but was distracted as a bum relieved himself nearby.  

A bar Illya thought, to find himself a willing woman, if not... languish alone on his fire escape.

Lots of vivid imagery. I can see the scene unfolding very clearly.

Thank you for reading and commenting. I was in the awful heat of the city for a gig last night..I'm thinking that's where this came from, that and the song title.

Were you able to open the You-Tube? First time trying it, I think it adds a little something to the piece, and helps those not familiar with the song.

I had no problems opening the video. Kudos to you for learning a new Net skill.

The new skill was thanks to Glenna's kind instructions. She sooo good at helping!
