Prompt Word: Turn

Minervie and Chip 45

As Minervie and Gungan were discussing the evening arrangements on the Birburrum train platform, someone called out, “Minnie! You’re here!”

Minervie turned, “Edna! This is Gungan.”

Gungan, on the other hand hadn’t turned at all, he was bracing himself for the stiff smile of a disapproving colonist. He took a deep breath and turned. What he saw was a native faced woman walking towards them.


“Oh! Good meetings,” Gungan said.

Minervie chuckled.

Edna cocked her head, “Yes, nice to meet you.”

Minervie said quietly to Gungan, “You two share blood, though I don’t know how.” More loudly she added, “I do hope you two will get along, at least for the next day.”

Edna reached them on the platform, and Minervie and Edna hugged.

Edna said, “Come on, I brought my car. It’s a trek to my house.”
