FLASH 55 - EEK

An uninvited visitor shelters from the storm
I announce my arrival to each and every room
He scurries to darkened corners
I've been told he's more afraid of me than I am of him
Each time I see him
I run squealing from the room
How can this be?
He's just a tiny, little mouse


Flash Fiction - Each Friday a group of us each compose a short story of 55 words - no more, no less. If you want to join in the fun and games...post your story, report to the boss - to let him know. If you're not interested in contributing a story, feel free to read what the others have posted. I'm sure any comments you have would be appreciated.

Happy reading and writing!
Love

  2. I saw him in the garage earlier. I don't want to kill him but what if he invites all his friends and family over?

    What to do, what to do!

  7. Aww.. mice are cute. Our neighborhood had some new construction going on, and some mice lost their home, so they took up residence under ours. And they found a way in from under the kitchen cabinets, somehow. I thought they were adorable 'til I accidentally baked one. Oooh... maybe that's a 55 waiting to be written...

    They really are more afraid of you. Think how scared you are, and then imagine what that means in terms of the poor mouse, and you'll stop being afraid and start feeling sorry for him.

    Great 55!

  9. Good morning KB! I saw your comment on my blog about you following G-Man's instruction to go to the previous commenter's blog to read their 55 and I wanted to say sorry that you came over and I didn't have one up. I can talk the stars out of the sky but I am absolutely terrible putting words down on paper or in this situation on the screen..lol. I do appreciate you stopping by and hope to see you again. Maybe during the week I will work on a 55 for next Friday because I have never participated in it.

    Thanks again and have a beautiful day! :)

  15. Cute! I love mice, actually. I'm amazed that anyone runs from them.
    ` I have an idea - feed the mouse something that's been dipped in catnip oil!

    P.S. plenty of photos moving down my blog now that I've been away for a while. Ack!!
