Creep Race

privilege creeps in
to thwart have nots from having
one must rig the race

Thanks to Kathryn and Sudha once again for submitting their flash of twittering fiction.

“Ummm, do I dodge left or right at the oncoming wall?”-Kathryn  at Another Foodie Blogger

He knew what was at the beach. So, he stood staring at the people walking towards the beach, wondering whether to disclose or not??–Sri Sudha K  at her blog HERE.

and here’s mine:

He lost her number, so he scanned each face in the crowd where they met, hoping to find her. He wouldn’t have cared, but she was “the one”.  ~kat

If you’d like to join in the fun this week, here is another photo prompt from Pixabay.com:

A little about the challenge:  Each Tuesday I will provide a prompt, and your mission, if you choose to play along, is to tell a story based on that prompt in 140 characters or less.

If you accept the challenge, be sure to let me know in the comments with a link to your tale. A final note: if you need help tracking the number of characters in your story, there is a nifty online tool that will count for you at charactercountonline.com.

I will do a roundup each Tuesday, along with providing us a new prompt.

Have Fun! 🙂

lullaby

lullaby

when the night is still,
amber lit, from horsehair walls
memories whisper
century-old tales slip through
the parting of the veil

Magnetic Poetry Monday – 31 October 2016 – The Halloween Edition :)

magnetichalloween

spirits of another world
charm us on this dreamy night
tiny winged angel girls and boys
that look like heroes, fascinate.
each is hoping you’ll believe
they are someone otherly
asking, hand out, all in fun
that you’ll find it in your heart
to fill them up with sweets
