Space and Dreams (55 Flash Fiction)

He sat behind the controls

the spaceship jostled as it met with some unexpected turbulence

he could feel the surge of  power

his ship was quickly ascending

leaving known terra for parts unknown

he was thrilled to make the trip

it was his first journey into space

the book fell from his hands

as he drifted into dreamland

It’s another week for  55 Flash Fiction with Mr. Know it All. Join us as we make sense in 55 words. We try!

The Tree House (Flash Friday in 55)

“Up you go” – her arms ached

This was the tenth time she had helped

her son and daughter

into their tree house that day.

“You kids are getting heavy

have to change the baby

yell if you need help.”

“Mom – we need you!”

there was my daughter

under the tree

in a crumpled

ball
