Say It In 7

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.
–By Murphy

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