Flash Fiction 55 -- Played the Lottery
Played the lottery Saturday nights
Two bucks kept hidden in her bra
If she won, a new house she'd buy
Move from that old red rusty shed
Win she did one day, went shopping
Found new house her ten K would buy
Small but could wait another day
Win again, get house of her dreams

Today I'm linked with Mama Zen at the Real Toads, Flash Fiction 55
Rules are to "write a poem, prose poem, or piece of flash fiction which uses exactly 55 words to tell its story." Mine is 55 words, no title. It's fiction but could be true for some.

Ha. A sweet story, and great pics. I'm glad she got such a colorful house! k.
That 10 K house looked like a great deal.. though a little small :-) compact living works though
You tell a life story in two stanzas!
Oh the yearnings! Very colorful little play pen may translate to something real! Luck is always there! Wonderful write Dr Jim!

I hope she waits and wins and gets her dream house. The pictures added so much.
luv the dreamer persona and the dream house photo; have a good week
much love...
Lucky her!! Ive never won a lottery!! not even a small one... so i dont bother trying only!! :)
What a cute little house. Don't know if I could manage that boat ladder, though, Jim!
I seldom buy lottery tickets, haven't done so in years, but if I have trouble falling asleep, I can lull myself into Slumberland imagining what I'd do with a large amount of money.
Hope you are well.
Luv, K
She is lucky to win the cash and or houses ~ I have been playing lottery with a group but so far all we get are few dollars, smiles ~
i rather like that tiny house. :)
A Malaysian man won the second lottery prize over the weekend. He was too happy until he passed on immediately. Sad!
Yeah, that first one looks a little small!
…the "American" dream.
I once won 3 bucks but forgot to cash it in ~
Interesting progression...I love the color though of the first - rusty red. :)
Great story for so few lines...and it has such a lyrical rhythm to it.
