Short (very short) Stories.

Challenge of the Day Complete. For now, anyway.

- She slept in their bed while he hid the nude photograph behind the least read book on the shelf.

- Peeling an orange with his thumbs, he nodded in the direction of her relentless talking wishing she would just stop.

- The nine-year-old stood shaking the air in front of the mirror with his right hand, “It’s good to finally meet you, Mr President.”

- The vibrating cellphone under the cushion made her jump, “I found it, I found it! I was sitting on it. Thanks, Mary.”

- Now is the time, he thought, while fingering the ring in his pocket as the plane landed on the tarmac behind the glass.

- “I had to make the decision and now she blames me,” he raised his voice, “she holds a grudge as tight as a bloody rosary, manipulative woman!”

Challenge of the Day.

Today I have set a challenge for myself. To write some short (very short) stories of under 140 characters. I saw this on another blog I enjoy (http://donaldmilleris.com) and thought it might be fun.

Ok, so here are some examples I found:

- When he woke up, the dinosaur was still there.

- It was cold on the bathroom floor on the day of my birth. Secret, untold, I now entered the world. Too much of my life resembles my birth.

- The wind picked up, and the balloon was away! Up in the air, grab – miss! Only cake left now.

- “You must wear underwear under your pants!”, insisted his mother. Clever at age five, and defiantly nude.

Now you get the idea, try some of your own and share them here. I'll post mine later.
