It seems like an age since I wrote anything creative, so I had a quick look over at Julia’s page and the current 100wcgu for a bit of inspiration.
As so many people join in now, and I probably am not going to have the time to read many of the stories, for the moment I am not linking my piece back to her page. Just writing something was therapeutic. Thanks Julia!
So, here goes:
Rosalind held the dress up against her.
“What do you think?”
“Ghastly, said her brother. “You look like an extra from The Empire Strikes Back.”
He pointed his chin at the enormous fruit bowl on the table, “Are they just for show, or can I eat one?”
“Help yourself.”
Rosalind gazed critically in the mirror. She sighed. “You’re right. It’s too yellow. What can I wear?”
Dan took a bite from the apple and chewed for a moment.
“That dark dress you wore last week, sort of William Morris design? It looked good. Classy.”
“The Liberty print? You reckon? OK, let’s give it a go.”

hahaha, an extra from the empire strikes back – brill!
Thanks, Gilly. 🙂
Nice start, keep going 🙂
Ah, no. What I love about Flash Fiction is its length…
🙂
Sorry for the misunderstanding, I was refering to your first line where you mention not having written anything creative for a while, this piece is great (as it is), I would like to read more of your flash fiction.
Creative…I like that. I’ve nominated you for the Reader Appreciation Award, the Sunshine Award and the Genuine Blogger Award. Join in if you like but there is no obligation to participate…a gift not an obligation. I so enjoy your blog and wish to thank you for sharing and dropping by my blog too. For more info go to: http://lovinglifeagreenjourney.wordpress.com/2012/05/16/awards-received-and-passed-on/
You are very kind Eldy. I appreciate your words enormously. I have opted out of the awards thing, but I do like it when someone tells me they enjoy my page. As I enjoy your various pages.
Thanks, Claire.
Isobel that was fun! Can’t sleep tonight and that made me smile.
Sorry you couldn’t sleep, but glad you enjoyed my little story.
This one had me laughing…an extra from “The Empire Strikes Back.” Brothers can be so cruel, but at least he was honest.
Relatives are always more honest if they are going to be with you I find. It’s the reflected shame I suspect.
I amwith Gilly on the extra…hehehehehe…brilliant !!!
Ho Jo, I must get over to your page. It has been too long…
This was fun, I am thinking I would not trust either of my brothers to do what is right, tell me the truth, Never have. in that department.
🙂
That is brilliant! I love it!! I have yet to come up with inspiration for mine and I am not blogging nearly enough these days…sigh. It’s so hard to fit everything in!! Anyway, I think this is great! Well done!! 🙂
Thank-you so much, Flossie. It is so lovely when someone tells me they have have enjoyed something I have written.
Good luck with your story. It’s funny how they pop (or don’t) into your head. I quite fancy writing another, so I shall see if there are any other prompts around.
