In this bit of nonsense, I have included each of the NATO Phonetic Alphabet codewords …
Last November, alpha male Mike and his Zulu boyfriend Charlie took a holiday at the famous golf hotel in Lima. Wanting a break from the game, they took a drive through the delta, up into the sierra, where they heard the famous echo. In the evening they were joined by their yankee soldier friend Victor (who was in uniform) and his Papa.
They all went to the theatre where they saw Romeo and Juliet (it was an Oscar-winning performance – ‘Bravo’, they cried) and then went dancing, first the foxtrot then the tango.
Victor, who had drunk too much whiskey and was more than a kilo overweight, fell over and had to be taken off for an X-ray. The next day the happy couple left for the next leg of their trip, to Quebec, then onto India, where more adventures awaited them …
That was fun. Well done.
Thanks! It was fun doing it. It was originally a challenge to see who could include all 26 code words in as short a space as possible. I think mine came in at around 250 words.
Very good. Nice idea.
Like this! Also an excellent piece of flash fiction!
Interesting that it’s Irish whiskey
Nice one. It reminded me of the naval officer who gave his girlfriend a brooch with naval signal flags in enamel. She thought it pretty. Any signaller knew it read ‘Request permission to lie alongside.’
