Friday 55 Flash Fiction # 84 The Ring




He chose the ring carefully.


He'd checked the size three times.




He couldn't get it wrong, that wouldn't do at all.


 
He'd been planning for a while and the time was right.


 
It was going to be tricky getting it on but hopefully


 
the vet would have it through the bull's nose in a jiffy.






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.

    I thought this was going in a completely different direction. Of course, with so many body piercings these days, it might have been meant for his girlfriend's nose.

    I'm always up early Flowerpot. Though I may stay in bed until 7.30 for the next 7 weeks - school's out!

    I'm pleased you didn't second guess the ending CJ. :)

    So glad the twist got you Anthony :)

    Anyone trying to put a ring through a dragon's nose would have to be stark staring mad Fandango! LOL

    Thanks JAPRA :)

    Cheers Connie x
