FLASH 55 FICTION FRIDAY - "Ramblings"

Driving, I noticed the leaves are almost off the trees...

Why is it still warm outside?

I suppose it's Global Warming!

Ah, it's out of my control...

Just like the changes in the Seasons.

The changes in my life...

I run to grab it and it slips away...

I give up and drive on alone!

FLASH 55 FICTION FRIDAY - "Young Innocent Fools"

" Hey kids, come here."
"You want to make some money?"

"Sure Mista...what do we have to do?"

"Just put these flyers on all the cars in the parking lot...
I'll meet you all back here."

We dashed and darted...and slapped hundreds of windsheilds.

"Hey, where is that guy?"

Ah, young innocent fools!

If you have a 55 park it and shout out to the g-man at Mr. Know-It-All!

FLASH 55 FICTION FRIDAY - "In Memory"

Last Thursday evening my best friends cousin past away, her name was Mickey. She lost the battle with the Big C. It was heredity, bad luck and I suppose faith that took her away...she was only 44! She leaves behind a loving husband, one son, one daughter, a father, brothers, sisters and many relatives and friends.

This weekend some of her ashes will be taken to be released at the beach in Myrtle Beach, SC.
She loved the beach, ocean and good times with friends and family. Since I can not be there to participate in the service I dedicate this 55 to her memory.

"In Memory"

"Oh, Mickey you're so fine...Oh Mickey."
We sang this to you many times at the Girl's Parties.

Your smile was infectious. You were happy all the time;
or so it seemed...

You knew your life was to end soon.

After the senseless suffering, you are now at rest.
Ashes to scatter...we all smile.

FLASH 55 FICTION FRIDAY - "DAMN STINK BUGS"

"DAMN STINK BUGS"

Nana Gibson sat on the porch cussing up a storm.
"Damn these pesky stink bugs. Why so many this year?"
Plague? She wondered.

She noticed the sheriff coming up the drive.
"Damn him too," she yelled.

His visit could cause her problems.
You see her "Damn" crop was almost ready
to harvest.

Damn stink bugs...

FLASH 55 FICTION FRIDAY - "Lady In Waiting"

This 55 is inspired by the g-man's Tuesday TMI post. It was about King Henry VIII.
If you haven't read it, you should! If you have a 55 to post please go see the g-man at Mr. Know-It-All and let him know...


Lady In Waiting

I am bound to obey and serve...
to serve the Queen and the King, if need be.

To be useful in all that I do...
to be available at any given moment.

I am of certain virtue, wisdom and gentleness.

I am summoned to see the KING!

I enter, caustiously...
Into the foul smelling chamber.
