Ever try writing a story in one hundred words or fewer? It's fun, but challenging. Here's one I wrote for a contest, that earned Honorable Mention:
Cat and Mouse
“I pounce, therefore, I am.”
“You are what?” said the miniscule brown mouse.
“I am a cat,” said the fluffy yellow feline.
“So?”
“Show some respect.”
“Why should I?”
“I am a dangerous wild animal.”
“Oh, please!”
“Watch me.”
“You’re just sitting on the bookcase,” scoffed the mouse.
“Keep watching.”
“Still nothing. I‘m getting bored.”
“Ready?” asked the cat.
“For what?”
“For what’s going to happen next.”
“You’re bluffing. You’ll do nothing.”
The cat jumped high in the air, performed a somersault, and landed squarely on top of the mouse.
“I tried to tell you: I pounce, therefore, I am!”
Writing is Imagination in Flight
About Me
- Ruth J. Hartman
- Ruth J. Hartman spends her days herding cats, and her nights spinning mysterious romantic tales that make you smile and laugh out loud - or so she's been told my readers! She, her husband Garry, and their two cats, love to spend time curled up in their recliners watching old Cary Grant movies. Well, the cats, Roxy and Remmie, sit in the people's recliners. Not that the cats couldn't get their own furniture. They just choose to shed on someone else's. You know how selfish those little furry creatures can be.
