WELCOME TO FRIDAY FICTIONEERS!
Seize the opportunity to free your muse and allow her take you on a magic carpet ride.
Henry David Thoreau said it best.
“It’s not what you look at that matters, it’s what you see.”
THE CHALLENGE:
Write a one hundred word story that has a beginning, middle and end. (No one will be ostracized for going a few words over the count.)
THE KEY:
MAKE. EVERY. WORD. COUNT.
THE RULES:
- Copy your URL to the Linkz collection. You’ll find the tab following the photo prompt. It’s the little white box to the left with the blue froggy guy. Click on it and follow directions. This is the best way to get the most reads and comments.
- MAKE SURE YOUR LINK IS SPECIFIC TO YOUR FLASH.
- While our name implies “fiction only” it’s perfectly Kosher to write a non-fiction piece as long as it meets the challenge of being a complete story in 100 words.

C’EST LA VIE
When I was a co-ed I married a professional baseball player.
After a year, a specialist told us we’d never conceive.
Jack refused to adopt. He couldn’t see himself raising “another man’s bastard.”
Within weeks he divorced me and married a fan.
Devastated, I left for France. In Apremont-sur-Allier I found healing in Ranier’s arms.
“All I have to offer is my farm and my love,” he said.
“I can’t give you children,” I said.
“All I want is your heart.”
Today we greeted our fourth son, the spitting image of his father.
Jack? No runs. No hits. No heirs.

There was much in this – what love is, selfishness, nature’s justice and the sheer pleasure of the story. A very nice tale, and one that somewhat mirrors a true situation happening in France – French women no longer want to be wives at a farm. This was becoming quite a crisis over recent years, until one revolutionary farmer brought back a wife from the Ukraine, a real farming country. Since then there have been thousands of marriages between previous French bachelor farmers and Ukrainian women from villages in the Ukraine. This has been rightly seen as very different than the Russian mail order brides in various countries. I could not have seen a happier such couple working the mountain meadows of the French Alps last summer, nor another who drove around together on a motorbike to trim people’s mountain chalet gardens. I find your story all the more touching because of this.

I enjoyed the sense of justice in this story, Rochelle, and it’s beautifully worded as ever. But because I know you appreciate honesty, I’ll admit to being a little uncomfortable with the last line. There’s a sense of bitterness there that takes away some of my tenderness for the narrator – after a happy life and a happy family with her farmer, I want her to have moved on from Jack. As it stands, I wonder if the farmer really got what he asked for.
All of which is maybe your point, but I kind of hope it isn’t.

Dear Jennifer,
As always, I do appreciate your honesty and, above all, your taking the time to comment. In my mind, she’s pretty much moved on from Jack and has a very happy life with Ranier. I believe she loves him with all her heart and is a good wife to him. Still a little revel in poetic justice was too good to pass up since Jack had her believing she was the one with the fertility problem. As you know, some things are hard to elaborate on in 100 words.

Hi, again. I’m sticking this comment here because I’m not sure how else to connect with you about this — and it may not be anything you can — or want to — do something about. But I try to visit as many of the other writer’s stories as possible and comment on them, and when I visited “Gemini in the Sky,” her page would not let me comment unless I filled out a lot of stuff for Google + first. There was no other way to post a comment. I was wondering if you had found that true, or if you know something I don’t know about communicating with that site. I hate not to leave a comment, but at this point, I’m not going to be able to comment on any of her stories because I won’t go through all that other stuff. I’m wondering if she’s aware of that problem. Since I saw a comment from you, I thought perhaps you might be able to pass the word along to her in case she can change some settings. If not, it’s okay. It’s certainly not your responsibility. Just checking.

Hey, I’m sorry if my comment was confusing. I was just wanting to say that I was unable to comment on that site, and I didn’t know if you might want to let her know that people are having trouble commenting there. I have three blogs on blogspot myself, and I comment on other people’s blogs there regularly without any problems at all. They normally give you several choices for identifying yourself. But her site would not let me comment in any format except Google +.
I just thought that if you can get a comment to post on her site, you could let her know that others are having trouble because it won’t give us any framework to comment from except Google +. I’m not sure how many people’s comments she might be missing because of that, but I have no way to contact her.
But there’s always the possibility that the problem is with my particular browser not connecting to her site correctly somehow. So please don’t worry about it.
