An antique typewriter Each week, Denise at Girlie on the Edge blog posts a prompt word and invites bloggers to come up with a Six Sentence Story. It's a fun challenge for writers, and a delight for readers. Go over to her blog to read what others have written, and feel free to post your own story, too! This week's prompt: twist. ********************************* The kids who moved in next door were big kids--much older than her 3-year-old self--but they might be fun to play with, and as they were coming towards her, the idea of them being new friends seemed at least possible. She was rather shy, but she understood the basics of making friends, so when those neighbors crowded all around her and asked her what her name was, she didn't hesitate to answer.

DeleteGood to see a photo of a cat with hair on your blog. :)
ReplyDeleteTee hee!
DeleteYour lilacs are so beautiful? Are you able to grow them where you are? They won't grow here and I have only found them at the florist once -- I can still smell them! They were my favorite growing up.
