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...


If you have a "damn" 55 story go over to see the g-man at Mr. KnowItAll and let him know you have a "damn" thing...

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.

FLASH 55 FICTION FRIDAY - "The Winner"

"The Winner"

Billy Bob was so anxious to see Thelma Lou
that he almost forgot his Skool.
Billy Bob would refrain from chewing until
the end of the night.

It was County Fair time and there was excitement
in the air.

For tonight Billy Bob would enter
Thelma Lou in the
Biggest Pig competition...
And surely win!


If you have a 55 go see the g-man at Mr. Know-It-All and join in the fun!

FLASH 55 FICTION FRIDAY - "Ground Control to Major Tom"

GROUND CONTROL TO MAJOR TOM

"Ground control to Major Tom"...

That song played in his head as he looked up at the night sky.

It was only a week ago that he saw something fly by with

blinking lights.

He was not a believer in UFO's, but something was very

different about that craft...

Something was very different about today!

If you have a 55 to share, post it and drop by the g-man at Mr. KnowItAll, to let him know.

FLASH 55 FICTION FRIDAY "Fallen Leaf"

FALLEN LEAF

I didn't notice the first fallen leaf.

I didn't notice the geese starting to fly south.

I didn't notice the hours getting shorter.

I didn't notice your hair starting to change color.

I didn't notice that you didn't notice me.

I didn't notice the memories slipping away.

I didn't notice the first fallen leaf.

If you have your own 55 please post and share, but check in with the G-Man at Mr. KnowItAll...if you dare!

FLASH 55 FICTION FRIDAY - "Look to the Sky"

LOOK TO THE SKY

The breeze gently blew the flaps on the teepee...

My home for many months now,

as I made my way across the land.

In search of my family.

I was just a young boy from the Mohegan tribe when

new settlers came and took my parents away.

I look up to the sky...for answers!

Look up to the G-Man for having us do these 55's every Friday.
If you have one go on over to see Mr. KnowItAll and join in!!

FLASH 55 FICTION FRIDAY - "A Walk in the Park"

photo by Jade Stanley- London, England

Just a walk in the park to pass the time...

look around, smell fresh air, find a dime.

This is the place to be...whether you're young or old.

This is the place to commune with nature...for truth be told.

This is where I find peace.

Listen to Larks.

Just walk in the Park!

If you have a 55 post it and go see the G-Man at Mr. KnowItAll.
