500 Words XXXII - Story Time

Hokay, so it's a day late but I was too busy to even think, let alone read and write.

Here goes (at last):

This week’s sentence was taken from L. Frank Baum’s ‘The Wonderful Wizard Of Oz’.

It was:
‘Not a tree nor a house broke the broad sweep of flat country that reached to the edge of the sky in all directions.’

Some goodies to enjoy with your coffee this week. Adonia's little Jake is definitely one to watch, Lulu reminisces deliciously and Old Dive retreats into his Norfolk childhood.

Adonia's 'Part III: My Boy Jake'

Yikes! There's a definite edge creeping into Adonia's Jake stories. I can feel something big coming and I'm pretty sure I want to be hiding behind the sofa when it gets here.

Shivery stuff.

Lulu's 'Little Apple'

Ah, the ache of age. Lulu's story this week hits that ache hard with some wonderfully real writing about … well … certainly not about what it's like to be over fifty, darn it.

Dive's 'Prelude To An Incident On Somerleyton Marshes'

If you're a little kid who likes to get out into the countryside and is prone to daydreaming, Norfolk's a pretty good place to grow up in.

Enjoy!
