This is a flash fiction challenge (stories in 100-175 words or less) and each
story should have a beginning, a middle, and an end. Therefore, no serial
(continuation) stories. They become too complicated for our readers.

instructions, please email me at mepricelessjoy@gmail.com.

Remember, half the fun is reading and commenting on each other's stories.
HAVE FUN!!

JAKE’S NEWS
Jake stood in front of the
horses. If anybody saw him they would
wonder about him. They’d think he was very strange talking to the horses but he
always believed in telling his animals whatever was going on. The business of the ranch affected them and
their livelihood as well.
He thanked them all for their
continued support. Goodness, what a prat
he sounded he thought. They were horses after all but he continued on with his
thoughts.
Last night after supper, he told
them, I proposed to Mary-Beth and she graciously agreed to become my wife.
The horses nodded their heads and
whinnied in acknowledgement. One or two
of them stamped their hooves gently on the ground.
Jake continued, Mary-Beth wants
you all to pull the carriage at our wedding.
To which statement the horses
snorted their laughter at the thought of being primped, pampered and powdered
at the whim of this Mary-Beth.
Word count: 154
We're probably better off not knowing what animals really think. Good one, Sally.
ReplyDeleteWhimsical and fun. Good job, Sally.
ReplyDeleteThis really made me smile Sallyl Sounds like he is a "horse whisperer." So cute that the horses "laughed" when he told them they would pull the carriage at the wedding. Great story and thank you for participating in Flash Fiction for Aspiring Writers Challenge!
ReplyDeleteHope they're careful what they eat that day. Love the laughter, horses do laugh, don't they? I was sure the one that bucked me off his back was laughing! Good tale!
ReplyDeleteHumor is enjoyed by all....even horses. Enjoyed this story. :)
