The car breaks down, she sets off walking,
until she’s lost in the woods, having lost the compass.
Cold, frightened and tired she tramps through thick snow then discovers more footprints!
Relieved and thankful that she is not alone, she follows them.
She realises she’s walked round in a circle,
when she finds the compass.
when she finds the compass.
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 am glad she found the compass, but it is too bad she didn't find the car. And why the heck didn't she stay on the road where a car might come by? Argh. I'd better not start ....
ReplyDeleteLovely...have a great weekend.
ReplyDeleteIt's nice when a story comes round full circle! ;P
ReplyDeleteWell done
:Dom
I would have stuck to the road if I was her. Desolate woods in the snow doesn't appeal to me one little bit.
ReplyDeleteDominic's comment made me smile.
Bet she didn't find the Woozle either!
ReplyDelete(Well done if you know that reference)
Great story. Sounds like something I'd do! Sense of direction? I lost it over there somewhere......
That was a cute Flash 55. I hope she got some help.
ReplyDeleteWhat application do you use for the falling snow on your blog? That may be the only snow we get this year.
Have a great weekend.
oh the poor little thing!

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! OMG, that was BRILLIANT!
Excellent Flash 55, m' dear!
As usual.
Have a wonderful weekend....X
P.S. Hey, I love your Christmas countdown!
'cos she's stupid Quilly! ;)
ReplyDeleteThanks Scots Lass :)
Hehe very clever Dominic LOL
I definitely wouldn't have gone into the woods either Valerie!
I have no sense of direction either AJ!
I think someone will have come looking for her eventually Pam. You can get the snow widget here: http://www.bloggerbuster.com/2008/12/simple-snow-effect-widget-for-blogger.html
I knew you'd feel sorry for her Bee ;)
Glad you enjoyed it Ron. Did you play the music on the countdown?
oh poor thing!!
ReplyDeleteBut now she has a compass, and can hopefully get somewhere beyond her own footprints.
ReplyDeleteat least she found the compas right? nice 55...
ReplyDeleteActually, I never did have a Blogger blog, just that notice to go somewhere else. I suppose I need to stop and figure out how to have a blogger presence so I can comment on blogs that only offer blogger account or "Open ID" which I've never been able to get to work without bothering with the blogger blog.
ReplyDeleteAt this stage it'll have to wait until after Christmas.
Well thank goodness she found the compass and not a serial killer in the woods as is your usual wont! Girl was darned lucky you let her out alive ... or did you??
ReplyDeleteI was hoping for Bigfoot!
ReplyDeleteLoved your 55 Ake..
Love your Holiday Look.
Thanks for playing, and have a Kick Ass Week-End!
Oh no. At least she did't find a serial killer or a dead body as I was expecting.
ReplyDeleteHa - good thing she was in a circle
ReplyDeletei was thinking something else
Nice 55
moonie smiles
That was a good ending :-)

At least she found the compass!
ReplyDeleteshe Kept Her Feet Warm!
