a tale of tails, tenacity, and tedium, as told by me, usually barefoot and bellowing

Friday Flash 55...

Playing nice with the G-man with a tale of Crooked Creek...with my apologies...FICTION MEANS FICTION!  I wrote a true tale...so sorry.  Will try to tell a wilder one next week.
Too cold to swim this sunny day he shared the wild tale of floating this Crooked Creek on cheap air mattresses with cousins.

The creek flooded from rains far behind them and the mattresses went almost flat.

Returning to the car parked on high ground the rangers had already gathered to look for floating bodies.

Boy Gail, what an upbeat little tale!
But as the author you can write what you wish.
The truth is, this was a superb 55!
It was perfect in every sense of Flash Fiction
Thank you so much for playing
Please have a Kick Ass Week End

I don't care what anybody says, I like it. I was short and to the point and said a whole lot, which is just what a very short story should do. Thanks!

That doesn't look like any fun at all! Probably because it's so cold out my back door. Crazy photo. Thanks!

The brevity made the story all the more compelling! Brrr. Cold water is only for teen-agers.
