55 Flash Fiction Friday


Stretched out on a park bench in town square, one hand draped across her eyes, the other clutching a handful of quarters to keep them from falling out of her pocket. Her mind whirling, at last, she dreams of sidewalks, air conditioners and huge lawnmowers taking down fields of tall grass that make her sneeze.



Ok let's have your 55, either in my comments or if on your own blog, be sure to let me know you've played, so I can go see it! Miss Logo has not one but 6 doozy 55's today, so head over there and checkout that lunatic too! Have fun!

I saw this on both Lime's blog and yours, so decide to play and post my little story on both.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

It was finally time for the family's annual vacation, but since daddy lost the vacation fund playing the horses, they could only afford three tickets. So instead of staying home, daddy stuffed mommy in his suitcase for the flight.

"Daddy."

"Is mommy okay?"

"Of course dear."

"But mommy hasn't talked since you dropped your suitcase taking it out of the trunk."

"Mommy's just resting."

"Okay daddy."

I happen to be celebrating 5/5 fiction day also. I like your idea of using a picture as a prompt. I teach high school English, so I think I'll steal your idea.
Thanks,
Brian B.

Tanya rested a bit from her walk across America for the March of Dimes. Only 800 Miles to go, she told herself contentedly.
