FLASH 55

Dad raised her as a normal kid, loved to rough and tumble but mother had other ideas...

'Be careful on that slide, you might fall off.'

'Get out of that tree, you'll hurt yourself.'

'The lift may break down, let's take the stairs.'

The world became a scary place. Is it any wonder she's afraid.



I wrote this one in my head while I was in the shower. It's where I do my best work. Only had to remove one word. Now, if only I could find a way to take my notebook and pencil in the shower and spend all day in there...I'd be able to finish my novel *giggles*




Flash Fiction - Each Friday, I compose a short story of 55 words - no more, no less. If you would like to join in the fun and games... post your story and report to the boss - If you're not interested in contributing a story, feel free to read the other entries. I'm sure any comments you have would be appreciated.
Happy reading and writing!

  7. I guess a sense of safety is a good idea - to a point. So often we get the balance wrong.
    You raise an important issue in this one.

  8. I got it....build yourself a bubble...water proof of course, sit it in the shower stall...go in it with your pen and pad, let the water run down on the cubicle and write to your heart's content!!

    Scary too, huh? LOL [okay I couldn't resist that one]

    My 55 is now posted. It's not fiction per sé but it's done. Come by if you get a chance. Happy Friday.

  11. Turn the water on so the far end isn't getting wet. Or turn the faucet toward one side. That's all I can think of, sorry!!!

  13. Great post.

    We need to remember that children pay attention to what we do and how we react more than to what we say.

  14. Oh no! That mother sounds like me LOL but I do try to only *think* those things, without saying them. Most of the fun things in life take a degree of fearlessness.

    Definitely, invent a waterproof note-taking system for the shower and bath. I know I'd buy it!

  16. Yikes, I grew up with a mum just like that one...have you been visiting my nightmares. lol :)

    I often write stuff in my head while under the shower, or driving. Trouble is I am usually so involved in the words or imagery, I don't remember it all when I realize what I'm doing.
