Arthur loved working in the fields, it was his life.
The smell of the earth and the blue sky above was elixir to him.
This was all he wanted to do until the day he died.
He had a great view of the sky from here
under the tractor that had just fallen on him.
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.

Oh dear! Sadly it's a fact of life (or death) that such accidents happen. So why did this make me laugh?
Great 55!
I'm actually doing a 55 again today!
Ouch!
Love the new blog layout. Very bright and summery :)
yikes tractors are heavy beasts...
Ouch! lol :)
The number one cause of death at the turn of the last century!
Excellent 55 Ake...
Thanks for playing, and have a Kick Ass Week-End
Maybe it was that you weren't expecting the ending that made you laugh AJ? ;)
Good for you Scots Lass
Indeed Sharon. Glad you like the new layout.
Yes they are Brian
Yes, Ouch cad
Was it G-man? I didn't know that.
My first reaction was Ouch, that is before (a) I laughed and (b) felt ashamed that I did so.
Happy weekend.
You know you're in trouble when it starts raining tractors.

Not a good ending for the farmer but glad you liked it Ron x
Obviously not a very good farmer - or, at least, tractor driver!
I love your bracing

BWHAHAHAHA Nothing like Farmer in the Dell huh? LOL Love it. Great as usual. Have a wonderful weekend my friend and Mahalo again for catching my mistake this am :)
I extremely related to this story for while a tractor, nor any other large object has yet to fall on me, many times I have greeted the day feeling great only for it to go completely and utterly wrong.
he deserves better way of dying.
sad 55, well played.
Didn't expect that.
OUCH!!!
Happy weekend. :)
I think tractor accidents are actually not uncommon, unfortunately.
Oooo poor Arthur. Blasted tractors.
Wow, this didn't go where I thought it would!
That's true Dumdad ;)
So pleased you enjoyed it Cloudia :)

Yes he does Jingle but unfortunately that was the ending that came to me. :(

Ah the twist worked then bankerchick ;)
I shouldn't laugh in the face of farm accidents but I can't help myself
this was so ironic and so wonderful
Glad you like it Dianne :)
That must be a farmer's nightmare.
Ah, and there's that little twist that I love so much!
I do love your surprise endings. Although, since Hubs and I are farmers, I must pretend this one didn't make me laugh.
Indeed Cheshire Wife.
Glad you enjoyed it Linda x
I know Trav!
I thought of you when I posted this Misty and hoped it wouldn't upset you. x
