June 2016 Flash Fiction Contest: The suitcase

[kennychaffin]

Aim for the thousand, settle for 750 if you really can't add more. That's my advice, anyway, but tell the story in the number of words it needs.

Only @kennychaffin has an actual minimum (did you see that new rule I added?)

PTTTTTT!!!

Suitcase... suitcase... suitcase...

Okay, I think I've got a handle on one.

No, no, not suetcase.......suitcase!

My draft is 4 words shy of the max. and I'm not even at the half way mark yet. I do like the idea though.

I just read over my story and decided the first two scenes were unnecessary. A quick delete and I now have more words to play with.

Perfect.....more often than not we tend to start stories earlier than we should....that's the Royal We as in Wee, Wee, Wee, all the way home.

Your wish is my command. (humble bow)

Wow....now I'm really feeling like a slacker.....

My entry was actually more a procrastination of working on my real project....I still haven't finished the last scene....I have maybe 2,000 words left to the end of the book but I just can't make myself write it...

I'm woefully behind on mine too Kenny. I've had to change directions a few times, and OT, wild weekends and Red Sox games have derailed my progress. Maybe this week I'll buckle down.

"Play Ball!!"

 

[Window Bar]

All right, with any luck my entry Growing Up won't bring as many groans as my jokes.

Here's a video:

You know it DOES look a bit like a suitcase on legs....

That may be the Lowes my son shops at....will have to check.

 

[kennychaffin]

Wait....wait.....something's coming......

....oh damn! It's squirrels!

....with suitcases!!!

 

[kennychaffin]

It can be about the suitcase, it can be about the contents of a suitcase, or there can just be a suitcase in it.

I'm suddenly getting this image of the universe existing inside a suitcase.....which is inside another suitcase....and another......and there's someone, something, some...

Ohhhh I didn't know there was flash fiction challenges on this forum. I'm excited. I have to wrap my head around suitcases and hope it stands tall to the amazing entries I've read thus far!
