The World According to Suz (who sadly no longer blogs) had a fun writing contest going on called “Say it in 7.” You were expected to write the world’s shortest story. Rules: Each story must have only 7 words. You may, however, add a “By” followed by a fake author’s name, if it adds something to your story. Two entries, max., per person. She gave out prizes! WhooWHOO! I’ve had to give this a shot. If nothing else, I thought maybe I can win the “booby prize.” I always wanted a pair of those.
This one occurred to me this morning. Actually, it occurs to me every morning. It’s a true story, and the author is not a “fake one,” but I will submit it anyway:
Pounce fluttering eyelids,
Get breakfast.
Always works.
–By The cats
This story came from last night’s experience:
Travel/holiday/storms/darkness
equals transmission troubles.

Oh, don’t even think you’ve heard the last of that story!

A writing challenge! Exciting, and I sure need practice at only a few words, thank you m’am.
Can I assume if you didn’t have your crocheting in the car with you, you will carry it from now on so you can use that d o w n time for good? (But then down there, the sweat may ruin the yarn)
Oh, Shelly, your woes prompted me for the next comedy contest entry, could you have another one soon? Oh, never mind, I will write it anyway! I had written part of it on your comments and stopped myself.
There will be another contest…one of these days. You can enter then
