Mugambi listened intently to the drum message from the neighbouring village.
It was from his brother Mwaka.
The sound was loud and clear, coming from the drum his father and brother had made together.
Sighing heavily Mugambi shrugged his shoulders.
He couldn't understand it.
Why didn't Mwaka just use a mobile phone like everyone else?
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.
LOL. Good one. I was so into a village scene. And then poof. Great 55
ReplyDeleteLOL! I was so in another place and time that I didn't even anticipate that cell phone!
ReplyDeleteTha was brilliant!
ReplyDeleteNot the same though are they?!!
ReplyDeleteUsing only 55 words you managed to build suspense and then a surprise ending! Very clever, my dear friend!
ReplyDeleteExcellent. Got me again with the sting in the tale....
ReplyDeleteThe Industrial countries all all tangled in telephone wires, from days gone by... the Third world isn't as sky cluttered as ours!
ReplyDeleteNo one using a cell phone would be able to understand his conversation at least! :)
