The prompt this week is the word ‘Ethereal’
Number of words: Exactly one hundred
but don’t use the word ‘ethereal’ anywhere
in your writing.

THE CURE
.
When SHE walks into the room
heads always turn. It is her eyes,
everyone says. “Something about her eyes.”
It helps that she was gorgeous, perfect
figure, expensive clothes and hair that
is “just right” and never mussed.
.
There is a glow about her that draws
people to her. Annoying…when SHE
shows up, the rest of us might as well
go home. And what’s worse, SHE seems
nice.
.
It is discouraging to be in the same
room with “HER”… everyone knows who
“HER” is.
.
I have a cure for that
divine out of this world gaze of hers…
large DARK sunglasses.

At the left of the photo, you can see the edge
of the barn door opening. We only had the
available light to use regardless of the weather.
The chicken was a very good model, but an
exception for farm animals.

=========================================
You can see that an area was cleared for the
painter, sand that the barn was used for storage.
The floor area was just part of the barn’s floor.
It had long ago been used for a dance floor and
that is why it is a finished floor.

Hot spring baths come in many varieties, indoors and outdoors, gender separated and mixed
Gender separated, I found the men’s area to be much more elegant than the women’s area.

===========================
Swimming suits are not allowed.
However, it is the custom
to bring a small towel into the bathing area,
with which you can enhance your privacy
while outside of the water.
Once you enter the bath,
