I recently discovered Friday Flash 55, hosted by G-Man. The idea is to write any story you like in 55 words (no more, no fewer) then tell G-Man with a comment on his Flash 55 post.
Always looking for inspiration, I’ve decided to give it a try. This is my first time, so please be gentle!
Bee-witched
Henry was one of those men that women describe as “interesting.” Oh, sure, she’d aspired to finding a pretty boy like Matthew McConaughy, but Henry had won her over the day when he’d walked into her florist shop wearing a bumble bee costume, and not said a word to explain it. And lo! She blossomed.
Bumble-bee-licious! Nicely done, Patti!
ReplyDeleteDearest Patti,

Hi Patti!!
ReplyDeleteThat was great1 Really??--Your first?? Wouldn't have guessed.
Is that a little cockatiel on your shoulder? I have a boy named cheeky (Chico) ...among my menagerie...he calls the dogs in every night, lol.
Glad I found you....
WOW!!
ReplyDeleteThat was strange!
hahahahahaha
BTW...Susie Que turned the Friday Flash 55 over to me about 2 years ago. She is a small business owner and has NO time at all. She is my friend and torMENTOR. And she is very cool!
You have a wonderful sense of whimsy. Thanks for visiting, thanks for playing, and have a Kick Ass Week-End...G
Thank you all for the positive comments.
ReplyDeleteAkannie: Yes, I think he is a cockatiel, but he's not mine. He lives in an aviary at the Seattle zoo. For some reason, he took a liking to me. Perhaps it was the peanut butter on a stick I was carrying...
G-Man: Thanks for the info about Friday Flash 55's history. I corrected my post. From what I have seen, Susie left the concept in good hands.
That's hilarious! Not just the costume, but resisting the urgent to self-justify? Love it.
ReplyDeleteGreat 55.
That was quite nice! Thank you for stopping by mine :)
ReplyDeleteThat was so sweet! :)
ReplyDeleteClever words on the picture. I liked it.
ReplyDeleteOh .. I love love love the 'play on words'. Love it. .And the Bewitch Show from long ago. Nice.
ReplyDeleteMy kind of guy!
ReplyDeleteAw, sweet! Perfect for Valentines.
ReplyDeleteYou did great for your first (well, if it weren't your first.) I've always preferred interesting men to pretty men.
