Today's Picture

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.Here is today's story.

The Hot Summer

It was a hot dry summer and we were very busy.

We watered the trees and they did well.
We had apples but in getting them picked and ready for market
we ignored the plumb trees.

When we finally got to them the fruit had dried on the tree.
So now we need to prune.

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 twelfth chapter in the exciting ongoing adventures of Sir Laughsalot and Robberhood
The entire story to date is HERE
The most recent chapters are HERE.

Good King Underwear ordered the Knight in Shining Armor to kill Robberhood.
The next day the Knight returned from his quest with the bloodstained clothing of Robberhood and his bow and arrows.
The King made him first chair of the square table.
Sir Laughsalot laughed harder and said to his paige " I know a secret"

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.

The cage was finally in place.
Eino watched the videos of Thursday night and saw that the cage was working.
Every creature that came through ran into the bars turned around and went back through the invisible door.
It would seem they wouldn't need Petrovich's stupid driblet after all.
The cage would protect their world.


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

Wrap UP

What a wonderful day. My oxygen was up. I visited every 55 story I could find. Then I went grocery shopping. We got T-bones and Porterhouse steaks to grill tomorrow along with a few non essentials. Then I took my grandsons to the fireworkd place. Pennie drove Ilet each boy get $10 worth of stuff. I vetoed rockets and the exploding balls you fire from a tube. They had a grand time. Then we went to Wall Mart and I picked up a few things. It was an awesome day. Now I need a breathing treatment.
