Since I discovered it was okay I am writing a second flash 55 which will be a continuous story but a complete story every week. Here then are the ongoing adventures of Sir Laughsalot and Robberhood

Once upon a time there lived a marvelous Knight named Sir Laughsalot. Sir Laughsalot laughed a lot. He laughed when he was riding his horse. He laughed when he was fighting. He even laughed when he was making love to the fair maiden Grinaveer but that As anyone can tell you was a hetonious mistake.

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.

News from Pigeon Falls

The little town in my basement where the trains still run, dragons fly, and life is back to normal Now Jon Bergall has reported three of his cows missing. So it would seem as if Pigeon Falls has a cow thief . Constable Marlin Snyder, who you will remember got his CSI training watching television, said, “ This is a very hard case to crack because there is no crime scene. Those city detectives have it so easy.. But here nobody know if the cows were in the upper or lower pasture or even out on the back fourty. They run free all day and wander in to be fed in the evening . But last evening three didn’t wander in. “
He went over the fields as best he could but didn’t find any blood or odd tracks. He thinks there is the possibility that some people in a neighboring town lost their job in the economic turn down and are getting some meat for the table. So he has called all the butcher shops in a hundred mile radius to ask if anybody killed a cow and brought it in for them to cut up into roasts and such. But so far that hasn’t located a single cow. He also checked with DR. Fortress to see if anybody moved cows by train but no one had.
The town council has informed him that if any more cows disappear they are going to have to call in the State Police and some tracking dogs.

Wrap UP

The dragons are joining today you can see them HERE
Or Scroll down and see my poem for the day.
On Monday Ella was sick , probably from all that candy on Easter. But she still wanted to be where everybody else was so we set her up on the couch. Elmer kept looking after her. He's such a good grand elephant even if Granpa gets his name wrong half the time.
I had a good day. I visited every blog on my friends list. I updated the bulletin on St. Mark's Website. I visited the blogs of people doing Friday 55. Now I need a breathing treatment.
