With a nod to Raven and Quilly
( This week's Raven's words were really fun )

Friday 55 Flash Fiction is brought to you by G-man (Mr Knowitall). The idea is you write a story in exactly 55 words. If you want to take part pop over and let G-man know when you've posted your 55.

Every week a nice lady named Raven gives us fifteen words and phrases to use in a story. Here we try to use those words and phrases in a flash 55.This week's words are : sow, close, console, lives, minute, polish ,bass, pussy , complex, resume, bow, house, import, intern, sewer


The Poor Cat

The Polish pussy pussy would sow minute traces of blood on the console as we came close to understanding the import on her life. The fact that she lives means a bow to the house intern who pulled her from the sewer , fed her Bass Complex, and got a sewer to resume stitching her up.

And Now for something completely different. A flash 55 quivel. Something that looks like a poem, uses at least three of Quilly’s words and has five words to a line for eleven lines. Click on the special words for definitions.

The Phlyarologist

The phlyarologist talked a lot
Everything she said was rot
Risible the things she said
Talking out of her head
Mellifluous the voice she had
What she said was bad
Pulchritudinious lady though she be
Nothing she said touched me
With listeners she didn’t rate
Ineluctable her getting the gate
Summotion was her natural fate

  10. Dragons certainly have a way with words. I find myself wondering if you've all ingested too many phlyarologists.
