Flash Fiction 55 -Boating?

The storm was bad.

Huge winds shook the tiny ,little boat.
They were afraid it would capsize and throw them out and they might die.
“Hold on” the Captain said.' It will pass very soon. Hang on for your life.'

The storm passed. They lived.
Tomorrow try again. This time
put the boat in the

water.

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 is the third chapter in the ongoing adventures of Sir Laughsalot and Robberhood

Robberhood thought he was good.
He stole from the rich and gave to himself for he was poor.
In Shearwood Forest he plied his trade.
The King sent knights to bring him in but he robbed them too, wouldn’t you?
You couldn’t fight Robberhood and his merry Crew. He just laughed and laughed at you.

Of course the dragons will be busy today you can see them HERE.

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
This morning a Homeland Security helicopter brought in the two men in black that Mark had so easily outsmarted. They still had all their special alien fighting equipment. Tommy UK was not happy to see them nor was Eino. But at least Homeland Security is taking them seriously.
The animals continue to disappear in groups of three. Even the group of pigeons on City Hall seems to be smaller.
Nancy says that people coming in for coffee are becoming more and more scared. They are sure this is going to end Pigeon Falls. They don’t know, of course, about Tommy’s ring or Herman’s power. They just figure any force that can take this many animals and not leave a trace can destroy the town when it is ready.
Mrs. Trumble says she wishes that Petrovich would hold off publishing his driblets until after the crisis it predicts is over. As it stands now he just adds to the panic.
Petrovich says the driblets always seem to have a way out and people need time to find it or understand it.

Wrap UP

Tried to call my sister Dawn all day but she just never came home. It was a good breathing day. I visited every flash 55 that left a comment ar Mr. Know It Alls. That was a lot of visits. I visited every blog that left a comment yesterday. Now I need a breathing treatment.
