Sitting in the park the two old men concentrated on the table between them. Time passed as each considered what comes next.
Reaching out each moved in turn. The game stretching on as the summer afternoon shadows traveled across the table.

That’s an intense game there. (Never did learn how to play chess…)
Lovely
Thanks!
Ah,a different kind of fight 🙂
Yup, I was going for the less obvious this time.
Good to be different:-)
I often wonder what I will do to pass the time when I get to that stage in life.
Very clever. You painted a believable scene with so few words. Karen
Thanks.
Loved this!
Thanks!
Love the shadow line.
Thanks, it just seemed right in the flow of the story.
Fighting for bragging rights? 😉
Something like that. 🙂
Works for me.
We should create a Chess meme – All your pawns are belong to me.
Nice 🙂
Very nice – I liked the pace of it, slow and easy, like the game itself. Thanks for linking up!
Thanks
they fight for victory, no? yes it is addictive, triumph is.
