55Flash Fiction Friday

Tonight just might be the night
She has me worried however
Hopefully we can do dinner first

I’m not bragging but once we start at it
it could go on for hours

I just hope when we are done
she does not bite my head off

It is so dangerous being a male praying mantis

I knew a little bit about praying mantis to begin with but then did a little reading in the wikipedia article so I had a little background for the 55.




I am starting to find out just how many people are doing these 55s. Wont you join us? Give it a try, it really is not that hard. All you need to do is post a small 55 word item. For some coming up with 55 words may seem hard but for most it is tough to keep it to just 55 words.

In these 55 words put together a little story with a plot and at least one main character. That is about it. Choose any subject. Try to keep it to 55 words. Mostly these are fiction but that is not always the case. Don't worry if you bend these simple rules a little. Once you have posted your 55 then be sure to stop by Susie's place and let her know. That way others can come see your 55 and you know who else to go visit yourself.

Give it a try, I think you will like it. Some people do a poem. Some do a continuing story. Some love to have a twist at the end. Everyone has their own little style.
