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.

FLASH 55 FICTION FRIDAY -"Bye Bye Now"

Bye Bye Now

Goodbye my warm friend, it was so nice to have you here for awhile.
Now it's time to close up shop...put away the shorts and tee shirts.

No more cool drinks to enjoy by the poolside.
No more smells of ocean air and suntan lotion.


Time to turn off the air-conditioner and open a window!



If you have a story to share...stop by the G-man at Mr. KnowItAll.

FLASH 55 FICTION FRIDAY - "LUCKY"



He was late...the train left the station an hour ago.

Damn - this was the story of his life.

Always the last to find out the news.

Always last to get the girl...

He sat on the bench and dropped his bag onto the ground.

He noticed a crumpled lottery ticket.

A train whistle blew...

If you have a 55 to share stop by the G-Man and let him know at Mr. KnowItAll.

FLASH 55 FICTION FRIDAY - "Gimme Sheltie"

This 55 is dedicated to the G-Man in response for his Thursday blog...thanks for giving me my Friday 55 inspiration...and thank you "Lady"!

Gimme Sheltie

There once live a dog who was a sheltie mix.
She was fortunate to live in the Detroit sticks...

Her owner looked mean on his Harley machine
but was a big cuddly bug!

One day she heard a song by the "Rolling Bones"
and barked with glee.

Until Harley Man turned it off at 3:00!!

FLASH 55 FICTION FRIDAY -"Spinning Top"


Like a Whirly-gig she spun out of control.
The hands of time were moving faster than a spinning top.
She felt like she was in quicksand or molasses.
She was in slow motion while life past her by like a tornado.
Get a grip, right now...she thought!
Was he the cause of this chaos??
