Flash Fiction

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.
With a nod to Raven and Quilly
( This week's Raven's words were wonderful at 16 words)
teflon, idealistic, marshmallow, opportunistic, kittens, beef, sawing logs, slapped, tickled, scissors,
ripen, shelve, laminate, goofy, Siamese

The problem with having only sixteen words is we dragons always see more than one possiblity . Then we fight over which one to publish. Today we offer you both of them.

The Office

Behind the idealistic Teflon inventor's personal desk was a goofy mural showing two Siamese kittens being tickled by a marshmallow man while sawing logs.It was partly hidden by the expensive laminate shelve on which there was a scissors, four cans of slapped beef from the Opportunistic Beef Company and some beginning to ripen tomatoes.

Serial Cat Killer

Being opportunistic the idealistic killer used the Teflon laminate pan to kill the Siamese kittens there being no scissors available. In his usual goofy manner he covered the bodies with marshmallows and beef drippings and slapped them down on the shelve of sawing logs to ripen. It tickled him no end to watch the process.

And Now for something completely different. And we mean completely different.
First there is poetry- written well by a few experts. You know it when you see it.

Then there is poetic drivel- written by many. Lots of fun and often punny.

Then below them all is quivel.
The following is quivel.
It in no way even pretends to be poetry or drivel.
Instead it is something that looks like a poem, uses at least three of Quilly’s words.
In this case it is also a flash 55 quivel since it has eleven lines with exactly five words to a line. Please, again, note this is a quivel it does not pretend to be a poem or even poetic drivel.

CULTivated

Scaevity was his from birth
Made him doubt his worth
Till gnathonized by the cult
Which lead to this result
Pretending to be real nerds
They roblet him with words
Mellifluous the words all spoke
His ego they had to stroke
They lived a ruricolous life
Away from the world’s strife
With music from the fife.
