Friday 55 Flash Fiction is brought to you by G-man (Mr Knowitall). The idea is you write a story in exactly 55 words. If you want to take part pop over and let G-man know when you've posted your 55.
I am continuing to use a photograph as a source of inspiration...here is mine for this week!
How she had ended up in this situation, God only knew.
She could see the look of anguish on the face down below..
She could hear the panic!
“Don’t do it!”
She called…”Please don’t do it!
Who will look after me, walk with me and feed with me?
“Don’t jump – Please Don’t jump!
Oh God!
Eva, on the worktop is so keen to be with us! Just by chance I turned to see she had not only entered the kitchen but had jumped up on the worktop!
“Business is never so healthy as when, like a chicken, it must do a certain amount of scratching for what it gets.”
(Henry Ford)
Another winning story to make your readers smile.
ReplyDeleteThat picture of Eva is so sweet! What a lovely looking chicken she is - very fluffy :-)
They're lovely. I've always liked hens. They're real characters. I might exercise my current rush of painting skills on a hen portrait before much longer!

ReplyDeleteI love this and I love seeing chucks wandering around.
ReplyDeleteAwww, what a lovely tale, with a surprise twist in the photo below it! So funny. She looks right at home up there on your counter (smile).

ReplyDeleteVery well done. I have enough trouble stringing together sentences without the word-count restriction, so I don't think I'll partake in this game. Looks like great fun.
