Today's Saying
The world has achieved brilliance without wisdom, power without conscience. Ours is a world of nuclear giants and ethical infants. We know more about war that we know about peace, more about killing that we know about living.

Flash Fiction 55
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.

I thought for my fifty five today I would write a really great civil war story.

It would have battles and big cannons and lots and lots of action.

I worked it all out in my mind, word by word.

Each word was just perfect but then suddenly it was all

gone with the wind.

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 ninth chapter in the exciting ongoing adventures of Sir Laughsalot and Robberhood

Sir Laughsalot spent his day laughing and looking for dragons.

He failed to find any .
But when he returned his Squire, Elfnose, told him that he had mail.
He was very, very, very excited thinking it was from beautiful Maid Moreann.
But then, much to his disappointment he discovered it
was only some

chain mail

News From Pigeon Falls
The little town in my basement where the trains still run, dragons fly, and life is back to normal

For some reason that I can neither understand nor explain today's Pigeon Falls after the above introduction ends up as a flash 55. Must be some kind of learned response.

Poor Eino! He is now really baffled.
He stood in the trench waving his arms and shouting. The lights came on.
Mrs. Trumble pointed the new camera at him. She saw him in the view finder.
But when they looked at the video later there was nobody in the trench.
Eino was now the invisible man.

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

Wrap UP

Spent a good part of the day reading flash 55's . What a variety. There are poems, stories, personal information, and more. Blogland is just filled with talented people. If only more of them would work with Quilly's words what fun it would be. Then we went to Green Bay to pick up my grandaughter and a friend for a gathering at the Church tonight. Now they have all gone and I am home alone. I visted all the blogs that left comments yesterday. Now I need to give myself a breathing treatment.
