Flash 55

She leaps out of bed, not a care in the world. A whole day to spend with the family she adores. Off to the beach to splash in the waves. Home for a nap followed by a lovingly prepared meal. Early to bed so she can do it all again tomorrow. It’s a dog’s life.


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 G-Man. 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.

  33. We should all be so lucky! Whether human or canine, this family sounds like a happy, content one. You can't do better than that!

    At 65, I've done it! My poetry book - Life's Journey by Carmen Henesy - is out on Amazon!
    ( Poems about the things that have been important to me in my journey through life, some humorous, some sad, some that may have meaning to you as well )
