“Okay, I get that it’s a social club, exclusive clientele and all. Why is the entry way up there? I don’t understand.”
The base of the door was several feet over our heads. While we craned our necks looking up, I tried to explain.
“Consider it an entrance exam. All you need is Faith. Look, there goes Michael.” The archangel walked directly up to the door, opened it and stepped inside.
“It’s pretty amazing.”
“Oh, that’s the easiest bit. Here comes the real miracle.”
Michael’s haloed pig winged its way through the door.
“Yep, today is the day they fly.”
In response to this week’s Friday Fictioneers prompt:

Thanks to Pink Floyd for “Pigs on the Wing” (parts one and two).
Angel pigs. Whatever next? 🙂 Inventive take on the prompt!
Oh, something equally unlikely, I’m sure.
After I commented I remembered your title and Googled to see what it meant. It fits the story well!
One of those sneaky-titles. But given the number of unlikely things tied into the same tale, it seemed appropriate.
I always knew they did!
We might need to take shelter, from pigs on the wing.
And any fool knows a dog needs a home (even angels 😉 )
Clever take on the prompt!
Look out for those angel-droppings. The pig’s pretty clean.
I suppose that snow is blue as well… 😉
And Hell’s frozen over.
My wife’s take on this prompt: that building is growing up.
I like that idea.
I enjoyed that take on the prompt. Quite funny and unexpected (or the other way around?) Loved your wife’s remark.
She’s sneaky like that. Often surprises me!
Loved the Pink Floyd reference. I bet if they were having a garage sale my wife would find a way to get through that door.
Big garage sale, with a little stall outside, selling ladders or spring shoes or jet packs or something… 😛
This is delightful. Thanks for the smile.
Thanks, the pig and I enjoyed writing it 😛
Very funny! A creative response to the photo prompt 😀
Thanks very much.
The Pink Floyd reference is great. A very creative take on the prompt!
The pig enjoys typing, thankfully.
Great title and an equally great story to go with it. 🙂 Pigs might fly, indeed. That door seems to have really got to everyone this week! 🙂
As long as it’s not a one-way door to a rubber room…hmm, story idea there…
I wonder what kind of cover charge this place has! Adorable story.
The cover charge is hellacious and the Bouncer has a pitchfork.
Great minds think alike and I was even talking about flying pigs the other day. Made me think of Hotel California rather than pink floyd. Nice take on the prompt.
Hotel California is the Night Man. I’ll write him too, some day.
I would never try to get into the place. I would never qualify.
Fun story when pigs fly.
Wait until you try the Holy Bacon.
That’s funny.
Hey, tell me – what’s shakin’ with that Holy Bacon.
And is it really wholly bacon or Holy Turkey.
Need to know.
Randy
Wholly nonsense?
Amen.
Yep -all you need is a little bit of faith. Fun story.
I’d say look for the back door. Usually every place has one. Well done, Dave. 🙂 — Suzanne
