Flash Fiction, tutto e niente

talking to the monkey in the mirror

Quit staring at me! You’re starting to give me a complex!

Don’t blame me if people are looking at you. What do you expect!?

I expect people to mind their own damn business!

But seriously Sue, what’s with the monkey face?

These 41 words of sheer fictional genius (ha ha) were inspired by Sammi’s Scribbles challenge to use the word “complex” and by my own occasional inner dialogue.

Wow. The line is out the door. I guess dying young will do that. Everyone you know is still alive.  

At least it’s not raining.  

Finally. Through the door! Damn. It’s like the line for Space Mountain. At least there’s music. Hmmm? What’s that song?  

What a Wonderful Life.  

That’s perfect. I love this song.  

Wait. Are they playing it again?

🎵 I see trees of green

… 🎶

Again?!

🎵

AGAIN!

🎵 

I HATE THIS SONG.

🎶 red roses too 🎵 

Finally.  

“I am sorry for your loss.”

Done!

Sweet Silence.    

Hummm🎶 “what a wonderful world” 🎵 

NO!!!

This 102 word FF about a song was written for Sammi’s Challenge. Click here for details and more writing.

It’s loosely based on an actual visitation experience.

PSA for today: DON’T DRINK AND DRIVE!!!

Wool-Gathering in Three Parts or an Affirmation on Day Dreaming

I

aimless and sleepy
you idle the day away
gathering wool thoughts

II

wool-gathering thoughts
to spin daydreams for blankets
indulging your mind

III

to indulge your mind
and gather woolly respite
will sustain your soul

This 36 word ode to the awesomeness of idle thought is inspired by Sammi’s weekend challenge to share our thoughts on wool-gathering in exactly 36 words and Linda’s SoCS challenge.

And of course no ode to day dreaming would be complete without a shout-out to my favorite day dream believers.

Favorite Doctor?

  • Converse high tops or bow ties?
  • Bad Wolf or the Impossible Girl?
  • Furrowed brows or wibbly wobbly time?
  • Fantastic, Allons-y, or Geronimo?
  • Sonic screwdriver or Sonic sunglasses?
  • Still not a Ginger or I don’t want to go.

WINNER!

Linda’s JusJuJan SoCS Challenge to write about television made me think of my favorite show (Doctor Who) and then Sammi’s SoCS Challenge to write exactly 40 words including the word “furrowed” made me think of Peter Capaldi (of course!) And although the Tenth Doctor (David Tennent) will always be MY Doctor, Capaldi and his furrowed brows comes in as a close second. (I also love Jodi as the Doctor so she may be moving into the second place slot. We’ll see!)
