Here is my entry (for the fun of it of course)
The town bat, Lucifer, flew over our swimming hole, Lake of Fire looking for criminals to bust. Millie the mermaid watched on, downing a pile of sardines and sporting her new vintage corset. Her grandmother gifted her an antique garnet pendent which she twirled
around her index finger, her tail flipped in and out of her small pool of
water, splashing Talus, the town’s mayor, who floated by on his hovercraft, hoping to catch his daily
glimpse of Millie.
Talus wasn’t watching where he was going and flew right into
the only park bench in town, causing his whiskers to snap. Talus stood up but
couldn’t quite steady himself. He spun in a circle, stepped on his coat tails, and crashed miserably to
the pavement. Unfortunately for him, being a cat and all, he needed those whiskers for balance.
“Mr. Mayor!” Millie yelled. She waddled to his side, carrying
her first aid kit and medical tape. “Here,”
she huffed.
“Oh Miss Millie, you shouldn’t have. I’m quite alright.” He
stood again, leaning against the bench. He tried to come off tough a manly but his
knees buckled when Millie brush her delicate finger against his check.
She giggled, “Talus, would you like to come over. I’m having
my daily snack right now. It’s sardines.”
“I prefer milk
and cookies, but I’d be happy to sit with you awhile.” He blushed.
Go ahead, challenge yourself and see what brilliant flash fiction piece you can come up with. It might look daunting but it was SUPER EASY to fit all of the 13 topics.
