Friday 55 - "Little Timmy"

Little Timmy awoke to a tapping on the window.
A red faced, creepy man was grinning and offering him a donut.

Timmy was hungry and really wanted the chocolate treat.
He caustiously lowered the car window just enough to let the donut slip through.

It fell to the floorboard.
The man laughed and turned away!

Flash Friday 55 - "What's a penny"?

A sign on the toll booth read....NO PENNIES

Hilary asked "What's a penny"?

"Oh, I replied...it's like a pence"!

That's how it started. A friendship that spanned a decade.

Today, I weep for you my friend...as I continue to find pennies in odd places.

Today March 19th, 2010 is the 1 year anniversary of my friend Hilarys passing. She lived in London and despite our distance we shared a strong bond. I miss my ole, dear friend...

My 4 visits to see her across the pond were some of my best memories. I still keep in touch with her sister and nieces. If you have any friends you haven't spoken with in a long time give them a call and just say "hi" I miss you...

Flash Friday 55 - "A change for Mrs. Tidwell"

Mrs. Tidwell sipped her Irish Breakfast tea and took her last bite of buttered toast.

As she gazed out her kitchen window, she noticed the birds chirping; the buds on the trees...
How fast Winter had slipped by her!

Work, home and sleep was all she knew.

Something inside of her longed for a change.

Flash Friday 55 - "I am a Killer"

I am a killer.

My ancestors were killers.



I was taken away from freedom

at an early age.



No wonder, I hold all this rage.



I'm in captivity...I want to swim free.



These beings watching over me, have no clue what I can do...



More than Jump....Spit....and Chew!

Flash Fiction 55 - "Bones and Muscles"

I'm sick of studying bones and muscles, Julia proclaimed.

Why did I ever want to be an orthopedic surgeon?

The answer was simple. To follow in her fathers footsteps.

The famous Dr. Wilbur Hetzog was now retired but not forgotten.

With a heavy sigh she turned the page.

She began..supraspinatus...scalenes...sternum...sternocleidomastiod!

FLASH 55 FICTION FRIDAY - "One Step"

It begins with one step and so I started that walk.
Every night around the track.

Solid soles hitting the crushed gravel.
And so it goes with one step...I start the journey of discovery.

Finding insight in the heavens above; breathing in oxygen to cleanse the solid soul.
Challenges await...

I continue to walk!

FLASH 55 FICTION FRIDAY - The Cougar

THE COUGAR

Sharp as a whip the cougar studied her prey.
Alone he sat watching from the shadows.

His heart started racing...he knew he was hypnotized.
He watched her approach.

Steadily she drew near her prey.
She could sense the tension.

Carefully, she stood next to him,
whilst sipping her MARTINI!

"Come here often, she asked"
