Ahem, just in case you need the official rules.
"The goldfish bowl teetered that it needs more food," Jane said.
I shook my head. "That doesn't make any sense at all. Are you sure?"
She shrugged. “Look.” She held up her phone for me to inspect.
“Tweeted!” I shouted after looking at her phone.
“Whatever, it ‘tweeted’ it then.”
I stifled a grin, my Grandmother’s roommate was easily confused by technology. I struggled to find a way to break it to her. “I set your calendar to push a message to you today to remind you to pick up some fish food.”
“Yes dear,” she said, “You mean tweeted.”
And that's it folks. Hope everyone is having a good week.
LOL this is a really cute little story - I love the idea of someone's grandma having a roommate. LOL. And that's just the sort of thing my mum would get wrong, let alone my grandma ;)
ReplyDeleteToo funny. Feed those goldfishes!
ReplyDeleteYeah, this wasn't much of a "challenge" really. Flash fiction is easy.
ReplyDeleteLOL- really cute story- love the mix up of words.
ReplyDeleteThis is pretty cute! My favorite is when people say 'the twitter.' Makes me laugh each time.
ReplyDeleteCute.
ReplyDeleteTeetered instead of Twittered - nice twist!
ReplyDeletethat sounds like something I could say! Notorious for mixing words up :)
ReplyDeleteLove the lil twist!
I like this. Very cute! :)
ReplyDeleteNice techy take on the Challenge, and nice dialogue! Good job. :)
ReplyDeleteTeetered and tweeted. Love the mix-up. Good job!
ReplyDeleteI can appreciate the cleverness and think this turned out really well. I've never tried my hand at flash fiction, but I bet it'd be quite fun. Something about squeezing an entire story into 100 words. Not many people can pull it off.
ReplyDeleteHahaha! Very cute. :-)
ReplyDeleteCute! Love the way you used the prompt. Definitely the most creative use of it. :)
ReplyDeleteClever to take the prompt and deliberately have it misunderstood in the story. Very different take and I enjoyed the humor in this. Great job.
ReplyDeletenice job of characterization with few words and an admirable rise to the challenge.
ReplyDeleteLOL, this was great!
ReplyDeleteI love this! I would've never thought of this angle. Great job!
ReplyDeleteLove it! Teetered instead of tweeted, that's sp funny - and believable!
ReplyDeleteLol that was cute, great job!
ReplyDeleteCute. Nice take.
ReplyDeleteThis was really fun! Great entry.
