March Results…

The results are in and although I didn’t place a 1, 2 or 3 this time round my story ‘Paraskevidekatriaphobia’ was highly commended by Morgen Bailey (yippee).  I received some constructive criticism about this particular story when I published it.

Here it is again.  The theme was superstitious.  I’d love to know your thoughts:

Paraskevidekatriaphobia

“Oooh we should play that game” giggled Evanora, “you know? Light as a feather, stiff as a board.”

“What’s that?” Theodora questioned.

“Easier to show you.”

“Now Glinda, you lay there and we’re going to lift you, using only two fingers.”

“Ready?”

“Light as a feather, stiff as a board.”

 “Light as a feather, stiff as a board,” a chorus of 12 chanted.

“Look! She’s floating.”

Thwack!!! Wallop!!!

“Evanora? What’s that noise? Evanora?!”

Waiting reply, Locasta stirred the pot. Darn! After last time she should have known better: Friday 13^th was no day for a sleepover.

“Oh, hello Obsidian.”

“Meeeooowww!”

In other news, I haven’t published my six word stories for a couple of days.  Page Flutter’s prompts are below:
