Flash Fiction 55 Almost

The ring safely in his pocket he knelt before her.

Looking up into her beautiful blue eyes he smiled that smile she had come to love and she smiled back.

He took her dainty hand in his callused ones and opening his mouth to say words she waited to hear.

He leaned forward and

sneezed.

News from Pigeon Falls

The little town in my basement where the trains still run, dragons fly, and life is back to normal.
Not that what was going on inside the museum was normal for anyplace but Pigeon Falls.. Men in black, supposedly from the Homeland Security who seemed to have knowledge of different life forms were confronting a White Rabbit. Which everybody had assumed was a mechanical construct. This White Rabbit had somehow fastened their weapons to the ceiling.
The men in black unaware that their weapons were hanging above them stared at the rabbit. The rabbit started to grow, becoming twice its original size moving out from behind the Native American exhibit . He moved forward they moved back. The march continued until they reached the center of the room. He moved right, they moved left. He then moved left, and they moved right. With music they would have a dance.
Urrr the frustrated being thought. If they would just let him pass, there would be no harm, but they were not cooperating. The giant White Rabbit used another of his unique abilities, and the two men fell to the ground. Stepping over the men, the rabbit pushed passed the group of curious onlookers at the door. The rabbit hopped as swiftly as he could, disappearing into the wooded area. There he regained his natural shape, a blue glowing circular crystal.
This was of course not the end . The men in black would not give up. They had failed this time but they had learned from the encounter. Retrieving their weapons they decided to shoot sooner next time.
The towns people would, of course, search for their White Rabbit. He had hid the mechanical rabbit well but did intend to return it as soon as it could figure how to leave. The problem was he was not all sure how he got here.
The White Rabbit disguise had been fun. Was the town ready for some more fun, he was already thinking of ways to create more mystery.

Or you can scroll down and see my poem for a day in April poems.
Everyday a new poem will be added. I have had a hard day blogging. My house is being reroofed and the noise is driving me nuts ( I know not far to drive). It is also scaring the poor dog half to death.But the job had to be done the old roof tiles were curling up and flying off. My sons offered to come and do it to save me some money but I keep remembering a lady in my first parish that let her son but on a new roof. He fell off and lost his ability to walk. These men are experts and insured. I read a lot of flash 55 entries today. So many ways to write a 55 word story. I just loved it.I also visited every blog that left a comment yesterday. Now I need a breathing treatment.
