Today's Pattern Story

Blue: C'mon, first hit's free.
Red: That's what you said last time.

The rest of the story writes itself, although you're welcome to write more of it in the comments. Bonus points for using: "mother's little helper," "get clean," and "riding the dragon."

Other scenarios: ticket scalping; invitation to secret society; numbers-running. What do you think is the most plausible?

  3. I vote for numbers-running.I think its Red whos wearing the wire. She has that savvy undercover-agent look. Blue looks almost falsely cheery and light-hearted; you know shes lying through her teeth.

  4. Sorry, Im boring. That is just her coat check ticket. Mom (in red) and newly married daughter (in blue) just met for lunch. See the look on Moms face? Affectionate amusement with some indulgence thrown in.

  5. They are both secret agents wearing wires, trying to appear nonchalant while they both eye James Bond (Sean Connery, still the sexiest man in the movies). The Red secret agent is, of course, with the communist block (hence the riding the dragon reference), while Ms. Blue is representative from an anonymous Scandinavian country.
