Flash Fiction: 50 Words.
The Troll under the Bridge is an honoured position which has been handed down through my family for more generations than your kind will know. We record the truth, yet it is your lies which are remembered. Therefore, I will relish and savour the next bridge crosser with real pleasure.
Innate fragility
Into infinity.
The second, no less inspiring image was posted by Susan Kane at thecontemplativecat.

nice work.....now I'm going to think twice about crossing bridges...
ReplyDeletelove the wording for the plane photo...fragility/infinity...beautiful
mybabyjohn/Delores: Thank you. Little planes give me the heeby-jeebies. I can appreciate their beauty. From a distance. And bridges and trolls go together - in my head anyway.
DeleteSuch creativity in the world. Thank you for sharing these.
ReplyDeleteDJan: Thank you.
DeleteAnd NOW I have a fear of bridges. Great.
ReplyDelete:-)
Hmm. Also looks like Delores has said everything I wanted to say. Lovely post.

Pearl: I see no reason why others shouldn't share my distrust of bridges. Thanks.

DeleteThe Troll Under The Bridge gets my vote, very well said indeed :-).
ReplyDeleteWindsmoke: I am glad that you liked the poor misunderstood troll. Thanks.
DeleteTwo brilliant responses. I tend to favour the first: it's snappy and clean and makes its point beautifully with its few words - though my bet is that the second was the more teasing on the author. Whatever: a double triumph. (And praise, too, for the image makers!)
ReplyDeleteDave King: Thank you - compliments from you are high praise indeed. You are right - the second was harder to craft, and is also the one I am least happy with.
DeleteI like them both, but the second photo is blurry on my screen.
ReplyDeleteI used to call myself The Troll Under The Bridge many years ago when working as an Office Manager. It seemed like the bulk of my day was spent keeping 'undesirables' out of my boss's office!
Kath: I am very glad that you understand that trolls just have a job to do. I have to ask though - how did you keep the undesirables away?
DeleteOoh, yes, nice word play and sentiment for the plane. I just crossed over a troll bridge this weekend... uncanny!
ReplyDeleteCarrieBoo: I hope you spoke nicely to the troll.
DeleteI love the troll response! Raised a few hairs on my neck, that did :)
ReplyDeletejenny_o: Thank you. Poor misunderstood trolls.
DeleteWow - that's a perfect 50 words!
ReplyDeleteLynn: Thank you. I won't tell you how many times I had to count those words.
DeleteExcellent! I love the troll take! The yellow plane--so well stated. You are an artist.
ReplyDeleteSusan Kane: I sit at the feet of artists.
DeleteYou have the eyes and mind of both a poet and artist, my friend.
ReplyDeleteWell done 50.
Hugs and smiles. Say Hi to SP.
Pam: Thank you - on both counts.
DeleteDear EC, . . . both captions captured my imagination. What fine writing.
ReplyDeletePeace.
Dee: A big thank you to you as well.
DeleteThis is a talented 50 words!!
ReplyDeleteKim @ Stuff: How very nice of you.
DeleteAww, I dug the "into infinity." Very nice, especially for one of the simplest of our flying models.
ReplyDeleteJohn Wiswell: I sadly fear that far too many of the little planes did disappear into infinity. And nobody would be able to cajole me into one.
DeleteI LOVE what you came up with for the bridge photo! I like all of them, but the bridge one is definitely my favorite. One of these weeks I will get it together and come up with something for all of the photos, but for roght now I'm just sticking with one photo at a time. And I'm very impressed that you actually made the quilt, that is cool.
ReplyDeleteDanielle L Zecher: Thank you - and welcome.
