Sometimes I get ahead of myself. This is one of those times, for, although it's still Thursday, I'm posting a 55 ready for the G-Man challenge tomorrow. You probably know the rules by now. You write a fifty five word offering, and tell Mr. Kowitall on his own Friday post, when it appears. He will then, like as not , come and kick you. I believe he shows sadistic tendencies, and rather wish he would choose to give out a few hugs instead, but Bloggers, it seems, have masochistic leanings and come to be kicked. No accounting for taste...

Diffused light surrounded me with a faint, pinkish glow. I struggled in the confined space to relieve my cramped limbs, but there was no relief. Incipient claustrophobia squeezed my mind and panic set my heart racing. I knew I had to break free - now! I struck out again and again... until, suddenly, CRACK!... I hatched!
Why don't you go away and write your own offering, then join the kicking circle? It really is perfectly painless, surprisingly enough.
Mine is ready, waiting in the wings... I might as well spring it, now that yours has flown!
ReplyDeleteThat was great. Enjoyed your fifty five words. Still smiling! :)
ReplyDeleteMine is up. Enjoy!
ReplyDeleteOh, you hatched??? The funny thing is that you remember it so clearly. Great 55!! You should get a big howdy for this one!
ReplyDelete"Incipient claustrophobia" ought to count as five words, at least....
ReplyDeletejust don't want to write 55 words to be jugdged....just don't want to
ReplyDeleteYou are amazing and wonderful just the way you are. I just may try this sometime......:- Hugs
ReplyDeleteYou crack me up! No Really, you hatched another one this week.
ReplyDeleteLol
Now Jinksy...
ReplyDeleteYou need to go back and re-define what I do!
I NEVER judge...I Praise!!!
I'm always honoured to be privy to such creative talent.
Excellent 55 My Dear
Thank you for playing today, and have a Kick Ass Week-End
Very good, Jinksy. A complete story, with a plot and a resolution which is also a surprise. An imagination working in overdrive!
ReplyDeleteWOW, Excellent!

G-Man - a little constructive criticism never hurt anyone. Undeserved praise, on the other hand can be far more damaging; it can lead to inflated egos!
ReplyDeleteDoc - thanks for spotting beginning/middle/end. I did aim for completion.
Buzzard -
ReplyDeleteAll this 55 egg laying is getting hard work. Do you want some brown paper and glue to paper over your cracks? I like to be helpful...
(thought the world should see the email I sent you earlier, as I'd hate them to think I left you cracked...mostly because of our apparently similar origins !)
I know what it feels like to be born now...very descriptive 55!
ReplyDeletevery nice jinksy...cant imagine hatching from an egg...it all seems so small, but i guess you are as well at that point but even still. not overly claustrophobic, been in enough caves, except the time i got pinned trying to get out. it was a little disturbing. anyway, figured i would leave a comment longer than your post as well. ha. hope you ahve a n amazing weekend. nice 55.
ReplyDeletemine is up!
Hello Jinksy,
ReplyDeleteI was gripped! Great tale.
lol -- a great one for sure!!!
ReplyDeletebut what are you????
warm smiles,
Nice one. And Jessie poses a good question.
ReplyDeleteHere's mine.
For Jessie and Alicia -
ReplyDeleteI guess I'm a cross between a dragon and a dinosaur - or possibly, a new kind of poet... (able to fly around the world!)
Ahh that was so sweet! When you say 'kick' do you mean 'critique'? I enjoyed your 55 words very much.
ReplyDeleteThank you for your comments on my Blog recently.
Blessings, Star
How neat! This is a very cool 55.
ReplyDeleteWhimsical you!
ReplyDeleteJinksy, you need have no fear of being kicked (and I apologize to your masochistic self for that) because this was excellent!
ReplyDeleteMy post is up here.
Jinksy, well done! Being a person of extremes - either monosyllabic or garrulous, I find 55s quite taxing so don't often attempt them;-)
