Friday Fictioneers for November 3rd, 2023

To begin the month of November in the crazy twenties of the twenty-first century, two favorites of Friday Fictioneers finest, Mistress Rochelle and “Dalectable” Dale, have inspired us with a two-way including Dale’s mysterious photo and Rochelle’s excellent watercolor painting of Dale’s wonderful shot. Wowzer! Ya gotta get in on this, right?

I’ve written of mysteries behind the green door before.

Click on Dale’s fun, green-door photo to open another portal to Rochelle’s blog page for this phenomenal adventure. While there, your thoughts can be expanded by her patent windows to purple wisdom.

Title: Play Behind the Green Door
Word Count: 100

We knocked on the Green Door. A woman from Behind yelled, “What?

Marilyn said, “The Chambers to audition.”

“You experienced?”

I was indignant.

“We’re stars (Marilyn giggled). We audition at midnight for Jim and Artie Mitchell.”

She opened the door, “You’re old. Can you do longtime money shots?”

Marilyn dropped her coat and white dress. “Bitch, let us Behind the Green Door now or I’ll stuff these six-inch stilettos in every hole you got.”

The movie is scheduled for release New Year’s Eve with Marilyn and some dude named Johnnie Large in leading roles. I was hired as art director.

Look both ways but infer whatever you want.
Mind the gaps for the best porn,
but you must know what goes on behind the green door.

This is an 80’s, Shakin’ Stevens, version of the #1 song from 1956 , “Behind the Green Door” which replaced Elvis Presley’s “Love Me Tender.” So many have never heard of the tune, the movie, the books, and now Dale’s pic.

  3. Clever wordplay, Bill. DiCaprio sings that song towards the end of Once Upon A Time … In Hollywood. I like how your story took us back to when porn used to be rare and difficult to obtain.

  6. What a fabulous take on this pic (to think I though nothing of it until Rochelle oohed and asked if she could do a watercolour of it – as if I’d say nay…)
    I learnt me a whole bunch o’ stuff today…

      2. Working on it. I need a photographer. I’ve been carrying a camera (bought used) on my walks and killing myself with YouTubes trying to learn the pic trade. 🙂

      3. Good for you! Never too old to learn 😉 I have zero idea of what I’m doing (am half afraid if I try to learn the ins and outs, I’ll lose the little I have!)

  7. Wow. I was nine years old in 1956, and Elvis was still an overnight wonder. When you first mentioned the Green Door, it stirred a distant memory. Then I clicked the video, and it all came flooding back.

    I still don’t think it holds a candle to “Love Me Tender.”

  11. “Bitch, let us Behind the Green Door now or I’ll stuff these six-inch stilettos in every hole you got.” — I like her. Stilettos have to be good for something.

  14. I was a child when that song was popular and for some reason it stuck with me. I enjoyed listening to it again. And your story characters sound ‘larger’ than life. Very entertaining.

    1. Dear Rochelle,

      Glad to hear that you enjoyed it.

      I knew of the original 1956 song and I wrote something years ago in response to a “green door” photo. The movie came up this time as did the cover song done by Stevens, who, at 76 is still swinging. All the other characters, including Miss Chambers, have died.

      I have to admit, my Google University education continues.

      Peace,

      Bill
