500 Words XVIII - Story Time

Arthur Rackham and J.M. Barrie inspired something special in Todd this week, so settle down in your saggiest and most comfortable armchair by a roaring log fire, wiggle your toasty-warm toes, take a sip of hot cocoa and slip into his world.

This week's sentence was taken from J.M. Barrie's 'Peter Pan In Kensington Gardens'.

The sentence was:
'There is almost nothing that has such a keen sense of fun as a fallen leaf'.


Todd's 'Lucinda's Flight'

Utterly beautiful and charming, Todd draws us, wide-eyed into a world of wonder.
Magical and masterly.
I love this story.

Dive's 'Warm Brown Life'

After Todd's fabulous flight of fancy, this is just a walk in the park with Old Dive on a November lunchtime.

Next week's sentence will be up tomorrow.
Shh!
Listen …
Can you hear the faint jingling of bells?
Oh, crap; Christmas is coming to 500 Words!

Oh, yes, Christmas is coming. Thought of you the other day when I heard a segment on NPR about the Sky Mall catalog on line. Now's the time to place your last minute order.

Lupine Lady: I shall rush to their website forthwith and order my giant inflatable festive lawn ornaments and a life-sized animatronic singing Elvis.
Every home should have one.
